BTS recently completed ticket sales for the North American and European stops of BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ through January 24th KST. Seats at stadium-scale venues across regions were quickly snapped up as soon as reservations opened, highlighting the intense global demand.
BTS will officially kick off their North American tour on April 25th, 26th, and 28th at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The group will then hold 31 shows across 12 cities, including El Paso, Mexico City, Stanford, and Las Vegas. Due to overwhelming local response after ticket sales opened, additional dates were added in Tampa, Stanford, and Las Vegas. The European leg begins on June 26th and 27th at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain, followed by a total of 10 performances in five major European cities: Brussels, London, Munich, and Paris, among others.
Notably, this North American tour marks another milestone in performance history for BTS. They will become the first Korean act to headline solo concerts at major U.S. venues such as Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Stanford Stadium, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
The world tour will open on April 9th at Goyang Stadium’s main arena in Korea, where all three dates sold out during the pre-sale alone. After performing at Tokyo Dome on April 17th, BTS will continue the tour across North America, Europe, South America, and Asia, holding a total of 82 concerts in 34 cities. This marks the highest number of shows ever for a single tour by a K-pop act. With several regions yet to open ticket sales, interest remains high regarding how far the tour’s momentum will extend. Additional concerts in Japan and the Middle East have also been teased, suggesting the scale of the tour may expand further.
Meanwhile, BTS will release their fifth full-length album ARIRANG on March 20th at 1:00 PM KST. The album contains 14 tracks and reflects “BTS in the present moment,” addressing themes such as identity, longing, and deep love—universal emotions expected to resonate with listeners worldwide.
