BTS Wraps North American 'Arirang' Leg With 1.92 Million Fans, Sets SoFi Stadium Record
September 8, 2026 — Korean outlets published a full recap confirming the ARIRANG World Tour's North American leg — 31 sold-out shows across 12 cities in Canada, Mexico and the United States from April 25 through Sept 6 — drew approximately 1.92 million fans in total. The four-show Los Angeles stand at SoFi Stadium alone drew about 282,000 attendees; combined with BTS's four 2021 'Permission to Dance on Stage' shows at the venue, the group has now played eight concerts there, more than any other act, for a cumulative 496,000 fans — the highest total ever recorded at the stadium since it opened. The four LA shows also live-streamed globally via Weverse to 177 regions. The Los Angeles Times noted the run 'convincingly framed BTS as a world-class pop act.' The tour resumes Oct 2 in Bogotá, Colombia — BTS's first full-group visit to Colombia, Peru and Argentina.
