BTS member Suga will embark on his first solo world tour, "Agust D TOUR," starting in April in the U.S., announced his agency BigHit Entertainment on Wednesday.

This will be the first time for a BTS member to go on a solo tour.

The U.S. leg of the tour titled “Agust D TOUR IN U.S.” will be stopping at Belmont Park, Newark, Rosemont, Los Angeles and Oakland, starting April 26. Tickets for the U.S. concerts will be available through the ticketing website Ticketmaster. Members of ARMY, the boy band’s fan club, will be able to purchase tickets from March 1 while the general public can buy tickets from March 3.

From May 25, Suga will be performing in Asian cities, first in Jakarta and then moving on to Bangkok and Singapore. On June 24 and 25, Suga will perform in Jamsil Indoor Stadium, located in Songpa District, southern Seoul.

The agency also teased that the tour will also stop in Japan, although no dates have been announced.

The last time BTS performed as a complete group of seven was in October 2022, when the band held its “BTS 〈Yet To Come〉 in Busan” concert at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium to support the city’s bid to host the World Expo 2030.

The band's eldest member Jin enlisted for his mandatory military service in December 2022.
