The event named "BTS FESTA" is the group's annual celebration held around June 13, the date the septet debuted in 2013. This year's edition will run for about two weeks and coincide with the Busan leg of the group's "ARIRANG" world tour, scheduled for June 12 and 13 at Busan Asiad Main Stadium.
The theme for this year's FESTA is "13(B)TS." BigHit Music said the title reflects the idea of adding a new "one" shared by BTS and its fandom ARMY to the group's 12-year journey, marking the start of a new chapter.
The schedule begins Thursday with the release of a group photo shot under a family concept. On Friday, BTS will release a performance video for "Hooligan," a track from its fifth full-length album "ARIRANG."
New episodes of the group's original variety content "Run BTS 2.0" will follow on June 10 and 11. On June 12, "Come Over," a new song previously available only on the deluxe vinyl edition of ARIRANG, will be released on major streaming platforms.
Additional FESTA content will be released during the anniversary period, according to BigHit Music.
