There is news about the fan events for two of 2026’s most-anticipated album releases: ‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally’ by Harry Styles and ‘Arirang’ by BTS.
Harries around the world (yes, that’s the fandom name) will be able to attend pre-release listening parties in 40 cities around the world.
US fans were sent a link to a form asking for their details, chosen location, but also their Instagram, X and TikTok handles – and a box asking them ‘what do you think listening to the album will feel like?’.
Many listening parties of this kind take place on release day, but Styles’s will be kicking off on 18 February, a couple of weeks before the album debuts on 6 March.
As for BTS, they have confirmed details of the ‘BTS World Tour Arirang Live Viewing’ in cinemas around the world. Concerts will be broadcast from Goyang in South Korea on 11 April and Tokyo in Japan on 18 April.
Fans will be able to buy tickets for the cinema screenings from 25 February. The screenings are a partnership with Trafalgar Releasing, the company that has become something of a specialist in big-screen concert films with K-Pop stars, as well as other artists.
