Hope on the Stage Tour is the first worldwide concert tour by South Korean rapper J-Hope, in support of his debut studio album, Jack in the Box , and extended play Hope on the Street Vol. 1 . The tour will begin on February 28, 2025, in Seoul, and will end on June 1, 2025, in Osaka. ^[1]

Background and development

Prior to enlisting in April 2023, J-Hope released Jack in the Box in July 2022, the first of BTS's members to release a solo album. While serving his military enlistment, he released the EP Hope on the Street Vol. 1 , along with a six-part documentary series. ^[2] J-Hope completed his military service in October 2024. ^[3]

On January 9, 2025, J-Hope announced his first solo tour, Hope on the Stage. On the same day, he also hinted that "new music is on the way" in March 2025. ^[4] The following day, BigHit Music officially announced that J-Hope would embark on his first solo world tour, making him the second member of BTS to hold a solo tour. The tour is scheduled to begin with three shows at the KSPO Dome in Seoul from February 28 to March 2, then visit the United States, Mexico, Asia, and end in Japan with its final show on June 1. ^{[5] [6]}

The tour spans major cities in Asia and North America, beginning with three consecutive shows at Seoul's KSPO Dome from February 28 to March 2, which marks J-Hope's first solo concert in his home country. From there, J-Hope heads to the United States, performing 10 shows across the country, with two shows in Mexico in between. He will become the first BTS member to headline a solo stadium show with his two-night appearances at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. He then heads back to Asia, performing in the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Macau, and Taiwan, before returning to Japan to conclude the tour in Osaka on June 1. ^[1]
