BTS FESTA 2025 marks the group’s comeback with military return, set to celebrate the anniversary with events & livestreams
BTS kicked off their yearly celebration series, BTS FESTA 2025, on June 1, commemorating twelve years since their debut. This year’s edition includes both physical and virtual segments continuing throughout the month.
The celebration stands out as it coincides with the return of certain members from compulsory military duty. According to BigHit Music, this year’s theme is ‘Twelve O’Clock,’ drawing reference from the 2020 track Zero O’Clock.
The concept focuses on renewal and emotional recovery. As part of the lineup, Jin and j-hope (who have completed enlistment) shared fresh concept imagery on Weverse, featuring solo and paired shots.
The key in-person gatherings are scheduled for June 13 and 14 at Halls 9 and 10 in Exhibition Center 2, KINTEX, located in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. In parallel, digital content will be available via official platforms throughout June. The offline event will include booths for interactive activities like ARMY Bomb Photo Spot, AR Photo Zone, Spotify Playlist, and Trophy Zone, among others.
On June 7, BigHit Music introduced a three-day online stream titled BTS Replay, which will be hosted on Weverse. The broadcast timetable is:
- June 10 at 8 pm KST: MV Timeline
- June 11 at 8 pm KST: Solo Music Videos
- June 12 at 8 pm KST: Magic Shop in Busan concert replay
The streaming event will highlight past video releases, solo performances, and live concert footage. All sessions can be accessed via Bangtan’s official Weverse channel.
While the majority of the group remains enlisted, this year’s FESTA includes active participation from the returning members, preserving the yearly tradition of celebrating BTS’ formation.
