BTS once again demonstrated overwhelming global demand, selling out every date of their North America and Europe concerts.
On January 27, BigHit Music announced that all shows on BTS's world tour ARIRANG across North America and Europe were completely sold out, with tickets disappearing rapidly right after sales opened.
The tour kicks off in North America with performances on April 25–26 and 28 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, followed by stops in 12 cities including El Paso and Mexico City, totaling 31 shows across the region.
Driven by explosive fan response from ARMY, additional dates were added in Tampa, Stanford, and Las Vegas, with one extra show scheduled in each city.
BTS will also set new milestones, becoming the first K-pop act to perform at major venues such as Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Stanford Stadium, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, and M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
The tour then heads to Europe, beginning June 26–27 at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain. The European leg spans five cities with 10 performances in total.
Overall, the ARIRANG world tour will cover 34 cities and 82 shows, marking the largest number of performances ever for a single tour by a K-pop artist. The agency noted that the tour's scale may expand even further.
Meanwhile, BTS is set to release their fifth full-length album ARIRANG on March 20 at 1 p.m., exploring themes of identity, longing, and deep, universal love.
