J-Hope is hitting the road this year!

BTS member and renowned rapper J-Hope will embark on his first solo tour in 2025, titled Hope On The Stage – and he’s definitely coming to Manila!

The Asia leg kicks off at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila on 12-13 April, before moving on to Saitama, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Macau, Taipei, and Osaka.

The tour will begin with three consecutive shows at the KSPO Dome in Seoul from 28 February to 2 March.

Here are the official dates for J-Hope’s Hope On The Stage tour:

• February 20 – March 2: KSPO Dome, Seoul

The tour’s title draws inspiration from J-Hope’s six-part documentary, Hope On The Street, which premiered on 28 March 2024, via Amazon Prime Video and TVING. The documentary “revolves around J-Hope's origin story and love for dancing as he begins a new journey in the 12th year of his professional career.”

The Hope On The Stage tour marks J-Hope's first time back on the road since completing his mandatory military service on 17 October 2024, after 18 months of duty.

Building on that achievement, in April, J-Hope will make history as the first BTS member to headline a solo stadium show at Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium. This milestone also marks him as the first Korean solo artist to secure the iconic venue, further reinforcing his role as a trailblazer within his group and the broader K-pop industry.
