J-Hope‘s latest solo project, Hope on the Street, has set the stage for an international run of shows on the forthcoming Hope on the Stage world tour. The BTS member will complete his first-ever solo tour between February and June with plans to perform two nights in all 15 cities on the schedule.
The Hope on the Stage tour will begin with a three-show at the KSPO Dome in Seoul beginning on Feb. 28. From there, J-Hope is scheduled to appear for double nights at arenas in Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City, San Antonio, Oakland, Los Angeles, Manila, Saitama, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Macau, and Taipei. The tour will conclude with shows in Osaka on May 31 and June 1.
The announcement of the tour comes less than three months after J-Hope was discharged from the South Korean military following the completion of his mandatory service. Prior to enlisting in April 2023, the musician began his solo career with the full-length LP Jack in the Box in July 2022. “It’s half nervousness, half excitement,” he told Rolling Stone at the time. “Since I’m the first one to go solo, I feel a sense of responsibility and there’s definitely some pressure as well.”
Hope on the Street arrived last year in the midst of his service, along with a six-part documentary series to tide fans over until his return. Now, J-Hope is eager to pick up where he left off. Shortly after the tour announcement, he shared another post teasing “new music on the way” in March 2025.
On WeVerse, J-Hope shared a separate post addressing the recent destruction in Los Angeles, where he is scheduled to perform in April. “I feel very saddened, and very worried after hearing the news that the harm from the wildfires in California are very severe,” he wrote in a translated statement. “I hope that we can all meet safely, and in good health. Sending my deepest condolences to the Los Angeles community and those who have lost their homes and loved ones. Please stay safe.”
On-sale dates and additional information regarding the performances will be announced at a later date. Details for the three Seoul concerts are available via WeVerse.
