BTS Sells Out 41 Dates for "ARIRANG" World Tour; Mexican President Requests More Shows

The North American and European legs of BTS's world tour "ARIRANG" have sold out. Big Hit Music announced that all 41 dates across both regions were fully booked as of the 24th. The tour begins April 25 at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium, covering 31 performances in 12 North American cities. BTS will make history as the first Korean artists to hold solo stadium shows in cities like El Paso, Stanford, and Baltimore. Due to high demand, additional dates were added in Tampa, Stanford, and Las Vegas. The European leg kicks off June 26 in Madrid, spanning 10 shows across five cities, including London and Paris. Future stops in Japan and the Middle East are also planned. In Mexico, the demand was so extreme that President Claudia Sheinbaum officially requested additional shows via a letter to President Lee Jae-myung. Although 150,000 tickets were sold for the three-day stint at Mexico City’s GNP Seguros Stadium in May, over one million fans attempted to purchase them. The available tickets sold out in just 37 minutes. This tour further solidifies BTS’s unprecedented influence on K-pop history and their massive global fandom, ARMY.
