BTS: Rolling Stone May 2026 Cover Story and Collectors Edition Box Set
BTS's highly anticipated comeback album, Arirang, and upcoming world tour are making waves in the music industry in 2026. Rolling Stone is commemorating the band's return with an extensive cover-story package for its May 2026 issue. The magazine will release eight different print covers, featuring each BTS member individually and one cover for the group as a whole. These covers will be unveiled online over eight days, starting today and ending on Monday, April 20, accompanied by video versions. The global release will see all 16 international editions of Rolling Stone publishing the covers and cover story.
For fans and collectors eager to own all eight physical covers, the Rolling Stone BTS: The Cover Collection box set is the ideal choice. This limited-edition set includes all the covers from the May 2026 issue, each housed in a custom keepsake box created specifically for this release. The box set is currently available for purchase at shop.rollingstone.com for $125, with worldwide shipping options.
The focal point of Rolling Stone's latest issue is a cover story penned by Senior Writer Brian Hiatt, who previously wrote a cover story on BTS for the magazine in 2021. In February, Hiatt conducted interviews with the group as a whole and with each of the seven members individually to delve into the creation of Arirang. The discussions provide a deep insight into BTS's journey, highlighting challenges and breakthroughs over the past few years, such as RM's encouragement for the group to push boundaries and J-Hope's rediscovery of the group's collective strength after his solo endeavors.
