BTS are setting up another pair of citywide festivals in Nevada and South Korea to celebrate their comeback album, ARIRANG. On Monday morning (April 20), the K-pop supergroup announced the dates for “BTS The City ARIRANG Las Vegas” and “BTS The City ARIRANG Busan” as an expansion of their urban concert playground event bringing their fan experience beyond the concert venue with citywide attractions and immersive events. According to a statement, the two pop-ups will “combine the music and story of BTS’s fifth studio album ARIRANG with each city’s iconic landmarks.”
“The City Las Vegas” will take place from May 20-31 in Las Vegas, Nevada, while “The City Busan” will set up shop from June 5-21. The U.S. dates will coincide with the band’s upcoming run of shows at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada on May 23, 24, 27 and 28.
The upcoming “City” event are a sequel to BTS’ 2022 “The City Las Vegas” run, with plans to scale things up for the 2026 editions. According to the release, iconic locations across the city will be activated with the Strip and digital marquees lit up in the album’s signature red theme and welcome messages for ARMY. There will also be themed hotel experiences, food and beverage specials and exclusive after parties.
“The City Busan” experience will keep the party rolling in South Korea, with detailed schedules and programming to be announced at a later date. After dropping their 10th studio album last month, BTS kicked off their global ARIRANG tour in Goyang, South Korea on April 9 with three shows, followed by a two-night stand at the Tokyo Dome in Japan over the weekend. The group will kick off a North American run of shows at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. on Saturday (April 25).
