Overview
- BTS, which opened Thursday in Goyang, performed through heavy rain for the first of three sold-out stadium shows.
- The tour spans 85 concerts in 34 cities through 2027 and uses in-the-round staging that BTS says will deliver a markedly different, more visual concert.
- Live Nation reports 46 shows already sold out, including North America and Europe, with about 2.4 million tickets sold for 41 dates in those regions.
- BigHit added dates in Lima, Santiago and Buenos Aires this week, and the Latin America run includes the group’s first full-group concerts in Colombia, Peru and Argentina.
- ARIRANG topped the Billboard 200 for two weeks and lead single Swim debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, fueling analyst forecasts that the stadium run could approach 2.7 trillion won in revenue.
