| BTS

September 5, 2026 — As BTS played the third of four sold-out SoFi Stadium shows in Los Angeles, Billboard Boxscore data confirmed the ARIRANG World Tour as the highest-grossing tour in history by a vocal group: $433.2 million grossed and 2.3 million tickets sold across 38 shows through Aug 11, surpassing BTS's own 'Love Yourself' tour record and BLACKPINK's 'Born Pink' World Tour ($331.8M) as the highest-grossing tour by an Asian artist. BTS also became only the third act — after Beyoncé and Bad Bunny — to gross more than $100 million in multiple calendar months on a single tour. RM told press the Los Angeles run marked 'the final stop of our North American leg,' a 31-show, 12-region run since April that has drawn an estimated 1.7 million fans with every date sold out.
