Arirang World Tour Opens in Goyang — Largest K-pop Concert Tour Begins

BTS officially opens the ARIRANG World Tour on April 9, 2026 at Goyang Stadium, South Korea — their first full headline concert in three and a half years. Despite rain, 40,000+ fans pack the venue. The show features a 360-degree in-the-round stage with all three Goyang nights sold out (April 9, 11, 12). A global live cinema viewing streams simultaneously to 35+ countries. The tour, spanning 85+ shows across 34 cities in 23 countries through March 2027, is described by HYBE as the largest concert tour by any Korean act in history. Members describe it as 'a totally different stage than before.'
