ARIRANG World Tour Lands in North America — Tampa Opening Night Draws 60,000 Fans

BTS opens the North American leg of the ARIRANG World Tour on April 25, 2026 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida — the first time all seven members have headlined a US stadium together since 2019. Approximately 60,000–65,000 fans attend opening night (first of three sold-out Tampa dates, April 25, 26, and 28; ~180,000 total). The 23-song set opens with 'Hooligan,' 'Aliens,' and 'Run BTS (Remix),' incorporates ARIRANG tracks ('SWIM,' 'Please,' 'Into the Sun,' 'Like Animals,' 'Merry Go Round') alongside classics ('FAKE LOVE,' 'MIC Drop,' 'IDOL,' 'Butter,' 'Dynamite'). Two rotating surprise-song slots close each show. US media coverage compared the fan scene to Beatlemania. The Tampa run marks the largest K-pop concert event in Florida history. 'SWIM' simultaneously tops the Billboard Global 200 for a fourth consecutive week.
