After J-Hope’s incredible performance as a Lollapalooza headliner in August of 2022, fans prayed that he would do a solo tour, but the timing just wasn’t right. J-Hope still had to complete his military service, which began in March of 2023 and finished in October of 2024.
On January 9, 2025, those prayers finally came true, as BTS’s official X account announced the On The Stage Tour. J-Hope is the second member of BTS to embark on a solo tour, after Suga’s Suga | Agust D Tour “D-Day,” which took place from April through August of 2023.
The highly anticipated tour kicks off with three back-to-back shows in Seoul, South Korea, from February 28 to March 2, 2025. J-Hope then heads to North America, starting in Brooklyn, NY, on March 13 and concluding in Los Angeles, CA, on April 6. The final leg of the tour takes place in Asia, beginning on April 12 in Manila, Philippines, and ending on June 1, 2025, in Osaka, Japan.

In a joint Instagram post, Pièces Jaunes and Carrefour Spectacles France announced that tickets for the event will be available at participating Carrefour stores. The lineup includes J-Hope, Katy Perry, John Legend, and more.
J-Hope’s last musical release was in March of 2023 with Hope On The Street: VOL 1. Though he only returned from the military a few months ago, J-Hope is ready to embark on a new musical adventure.
On January 9, 2024, J-Hope teased new music through BTS’s Youtube channel. The teaser, titled Beginning of a New Dream, featured a cryptic caption: “Coming Soon. 2025.3.” J-Hope is getting ready to begin a new era right before his tour. He has such a versatile style, so we aren’t sure what to expect!
In addition to J-Hope’s tour coming to an end, the remaining five BTS members are set to complete their military service in June 2025. With J-Hope’s new music, tour, and BTS’s long-awaited reunion, 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable year for ARMY worldwide.
