    With 1.92 Million Fans, BTS Concludes Their North American Leg of the ARIRANG World Tour

    BTS have officially wrapped up the North American leg of their massive ARIRANG World Tour, closing the five-month run with four spectacular concerts at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The North American chapter attracted approximately 1.92 million fans across 31 sold-out shows in 12 cities, marking another major milestone in the group's return to the global stage.

    The Los Angeles finale, held on September 1, 2, 5 and 6, became one of the biggest highlights of the North American leg. Around 282,000 fans attended the four concerts, while the shows were also watched through Weverse in 177 countries.

    The scale of the finale demonstrated the enormous international demand surrounding BTS following their return as a full group.

    BTS' North American journey began in Tampa, Florida, before continuing through El Paso, Mexico City, Stanford, Las Vegas, East Rutherford, Foxborough, Baltimore, Arlington, Toronto, Chicago and Los Angeles

    Across these stops, the group consistently performed to sold-out stadiums, turning the North American leg into one of the defining chapters of the ARIRANG tour.

    The final Los Angeles concerts added another remarkable achievement to BTS' growing list of stadium records. With the four ARIRANG shows, BTS have now performed eight concerts at SoFi Stadium, including their four shows at the venue during the 2021 Permission to Dance on Stage era.

    Their eight appearances have attracted approximately 496,000 fans in total, making BTS the act with both the most performances and the highest cumulative attendance in the stadium's history.

    Since launching in April 2026, the ARIRANG World Tour has already established an extraordinary footprint across multiple continents. The tour began with three concerts in Goyang, South Korea, followed by two shows in Tokyo and additional dates in Busan before moving through Europe and North America.

    Among the most notable milestones so far are the 31 consecutive sold-out North American shows, approximately 1.92 million North American attendees, and BTS' record-setting cumulative attendance at SoFi Stadium. The Los Angeles finale alone attracted approximately 282,000 people across four nights.

    The tour has also already crossed 20 cities before entering its next phase, with BTS visiting South Korea, Japan, Mexico, the United States, Spain, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Canada. The scale of the itinerary makes ARIRANG one of BTS' most ambitious global touring projects to date.

    The cities visited during the ARIRANG World Tour include, Goyang, Tokyo, Tampa, El Paso, Mexico City, Stanford, Las Vegas, Busan, Madrid, Brussels, London, Munich, Paris, East Rutherford, Foxborough, Baltimore, Arlington, Toronto, Chicago and Los Angeles.

    Each stop has added its own chapter to the tour, with stadium crowds welcoming the seven members back to the stage after their group hiatus.

    The ARIRANG World Tour is far from over. Following the conclusion of the North American leg, BTS will head to South America, beginning in Bogotá, Colombia, on October 2 and 3. The tour will then continue to Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires and São Paulo throughout October.

    The remaining announced cities are Bogotá, Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta, Melbourne, Sydney, Hong Kong and Manila. The Asian and Oceania portions will carry the tour into late 2026 and early 2027, with Manila currently scheduled as the final announced stop in March 2027.

    For BTS and ARMY, the North American finale is therefore not an ending but another milestone in an enormous worldwide journey. With South America, Asia, Australia and the Philippines still ahead, the ARIRANG era continues to expand, and the records accumulated so far suggest that the biggest moments of the tour may still be to come.
