The group BTS added dates to its South America tour.
BTS announced on the morning of the 8th through the global superfans platform Weverse that it will add one performance each in Lima, Peru; Santiago, Chile; and Buenos Aires, Argentina to its South America tour taking place in October. With this, 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'' will be held 85 times across 34 cities.
BTS is setting meaningful milestones in South America. They will be the first Korean artists to enter Estadio El Campín in Bogotá, Colombia, and Estadio Único de La Plata in Buenos Aires. They also became the first Korean artists to hold a solo concert at Estadio Nacional in Santiago.
BTS will visit Colombia, Peru and Argentina together as a full group for the first time. Local music fans' expectations are correspondingly high. In Peru, ahead of the concert, fans actively participated in the Machu Picchu historical preservation area's "planting one million trees" campaign and carried out various activities such as cleaning public spaces to prepare to welcome BTS.
Meanwhile, BTS will start 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'' at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex on the 9th. After meeting audiences in Goyang for three days, they will move to Tokyo Dome in Japan on the 17th–18th to perform. This tour will use a 360-degree stage to provide audiences with an overwhelming sense of immersion.
Amid intense interest, 46 performances including those in Goyang, Tokyo, North America and Europe have already sold out. According to global concert promoter Live Nation, BTS sold about 2.4 million tickets from 41 North American and European shows alone. They have also left a significant mark on the concert scene by becoming the first Korean artists to perform solo at El Paso's Sun Bowl Stadium, Stanford Stadium, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
