HYBE Cine Fest 2026: BTS ARIRANG Live Viewings, Dates, Artists and What Fans Need to Know

HYBE Cine Fest 2026 will run in cinemas worldwide from October 24–31, with BTS live viewings from the group’s BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ stops in Buenos Aires and São Paulo serving as the central attraction. The Buenos Aires viewing is dated October 24, while São Paulo follows on October 30. Global ticket sales opened September 30; ticket sales in South Korea opened October 15, according to HYBE’s Weverse notice.

The festival is scheduled to reach more than 1,100 cinemas in approximately 60 countries. Alongside BTS’s tour broadcasts, its program includes concert films from SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER and ENHYPEN, plus a communal music-video screening spanning 13 HYBE-associated artists.

BTS ‘ARIRANG’ Live Viewings Anchor HYBE Cine Fest 2026

Cinemas will host viewings tied to two performances on BTS’s 2026 tour itinerary: Buenos Aires on October 24 and São Paulo on October 30. That gives the event a direct connection to the tour rather than presenting only archival concert footage.

That scheduling places BTS at both ends of the October 24–31 festival window. HYBE has positioned the event as an international theatrical rollout, with the reported scale of more than 1,100 cinemas across roughly 60 countries making the broadcasts part of a broad cinema program rather than a single-market fan event.

Availability will still depend on participating territories and local exhibitors. The official festival site lists participating-territory information separately, so fans should check their local cinema listings for the relevant session and ticket availability.

How the Cinema Broadcasts and Cheering Screenings Work

HYBE says the BTS cinema broadcasts will be presented either in real time or on a delay, depending on local time zones. That distinction matters for viewers outside Argentina and Brazil: a screening billed as part of the live-viewing program may not begin simultaneously in every territory.

The festival is also built around a more participatory presentation than a conventional concert-film screening. Its announced format includes singalong screenings, light-stick participation and selected fan-experience spaces. Those elements place organized audience response inside the cinema setting, while the precise availability of each feature may vary by location.

For fans deciding between sessions, the key practical distinction is whether their local listing is a real-time broadcast, a delayed presentation or one of the dedicated cheering-format screenings.

SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER and ENHYPEN Concert Films Join the Lineup

BTS’s two live-viewing dates are joined by three separately programmed concert-film titles: SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR ‘NEW_’, TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR ‘ACT : TOMORROW’ and ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR ‘BLOOD SAGA’. The titles appear on the festival’s official participating-territories page.

The distinction is useful: the BTS component is tied to specific Buenos Aires and São Paulo tour dates, while the SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER and ENHYPEN entries are listed as concert films within the wider Cine Fest slate. Together, the programming gives the week a mix of event-style broadcasts and established screen titles.

HYBE CHEERING PARTY Brings 13 Artists Into the Program

The festival’s label-wide component is the HYBE CHEERING PARTY, a music-video screening program featuring BTS, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN, LE SSERAFIM, &TEAM, BOYNEXTDOOR, TWS, ILLIT, KATSEYE, aoen, CORTIS and SANTOS BRAVOS.

Its 13-artist roster expands the event beyond the concert-film headliners and puts newer acts alongside HYBE’s most globally established groups. The program is specifically described as a music-video screening, not an additional set of live tour broadcasts, which makes it a distinct part of the overall schedule.

Lotte Cinema Hosts South Korea’s Exclusive Run

In South Korea, HYBE Cine Fest 2026 is scheduled to run exclusively through Lotte Cinema from October 24–31. Cineplay reported the exclusive domestic exhibition arrangement alongside the festival’s expected reach of more than 1,100 cinemas in approximately 60 countries.

The Lotte Cinema window matches the worldwide festival dates, while Korean ticketing opened October 15, after global sales began on September 30. For international audiences, local theaters and schedules remain the practical reference point; for South Korea, Lotte Cinema is the announced destination for the festival’s eight-day run.
