The ARIRANG World Tour: BTS's Biggest Concert Tour Yet
Share
If the comeback concert in Seoul was the spark, the ARIRANG World Tour is the fire. Beginning April 9, 2026, in Goyang, South Korea, BTS kicked off what is officially their largest world tour in history — a jaw-dropping 85 dates across 34 cities in 23 countries, scheduled to run all the way through March 2027.
By the Numbers
The scale of this tour is difficult to comprehend. BTS will perform across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. Tickets for shows in South Korea, North America, and Europe sold out within hours of going on sale — during both the pre-sale and general sale. Industry analysts estimate the tour could generate more than $1.4 billion in revenue, putting it in the same conversation as Taylor Swift's legendary Eras Tour.
Seoul-based investment bank IBK Investment & Securities analyst Kim Yu-hyuk estimated BTS's comeback overall could generate at least 2.9 trillion Korean won (approximately $1.93 billion), a figure Bloomberg suggested could rival the $2 billion earned by the Eras Tour.
A 360-Degree Stage Experience
This isn't just a concert — it's an immersive event. The ARIRANG World Tour features a 360-degree stage setup, putting BTS at the center of the action so fans from every angle get an up-close experience. The group has also been adding shows in response to overwhelming demand: On April 8, three additional concerts were added to the Latin American leg, with one extra show each in Lima, Santiago, and Buenos Aires.
