HYBE CINE FEST 2026 brings BTS live from South America to cinemas worldwide
Fans in more than 60 territories will be able to watch BTS live from South America on cinema screens this October, as part of HYBE CINE FEST 2026.
HYBE and Trafalgar Releasing will present the week-long festival in theatres from 24 to 31 October, according to details reported by Music Business Worldwide. The programme has six presentations in total, mixing live broadcasts with recorded concert films and a singalong-style screening.
The centre of the line-up is two live cinema broadcasts from the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’. These are live concert transmissions, beamed from the stadium into theatres at the same time around the world.
The first comes from Buenos Aires. It screens on 24 October in the Americas and 25 October in the rest of the world. It is billed as the first-ever BTS Live Viewing broadcast from South America, and as BTS’ first-ever performance in Argentina.
The second comes from São Paulo. It screens on 30 October in the Americas and 31 October elsewhere. The festival’s official site lists Argentina among the participating territories and publishes territory-specific start times for both broadcasts, according to HYBE CINE FEST.
The dates are split by time zone. That stagger allows evening shows in South America to play at practical local times in Asia, Europe and beyond.
Three other titles are concert films, meaning full shows filmed for cinema release. SEVENTEEN’s film is drawn from the group’s WORLD TOUR ‘NEW_’. TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s film comes from the group’s fourth world tour, ACT : TOMORROW. ENHYPEN’s film captures the Seoul concert that opened the group’s BLOOD SAGA world tour.
The sixth title is HYBE CHEERING PARTY in 3D. It uses 3D-enhanced on-screen lyrics, designed for audiences to sing and chant along together in the theatre.
Tickets go on sale internationally on 30 September at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm BST.
For fans, this means choice. Two nights are live and time-sensitive. The other four can play across the week.
The 2026 edition is a step up in scale. Earlier versions were held in Latin America in 2024 and across Asia in 2025. The Asia edition ran from 10 to 13 July across 10 territories with five music events, according to Trafalgar Releasing.
