The tour includes several historic milestones, as BTS becomes the first Korean act to hold solo concerts at prestigious venues such as:
United States: Raymond James Stadium (Tampa), Sun Bowl Stadium (El Paso), Stanford Stadium, Gillette Stadium (Foxborough), M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore), and AT&T Stadium (Arlington).
Europe: King Baudouin Stadium (Brussels) and Allianz Arena (Munich).
United Kingdom: The group also recorded the highest seat occupancy rate for a single performance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
New Album and 'The City' Project
The world tour coincides with the release of BTS’s highly anticipated 5th studio album, "ARIRANG," scheduled for release on March 20 at 1:00 PM (KST). The album is described as a reflection of "BTS in the present moment."
To celebrate the comeback, the "BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SEOUL" project will run from the album release date until April 12. The city-wide festival will transform Seoul with immersive media content, experiential installations, and artistic displays integrated into the urban landscape.
