Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was packed back in July, as BTS returned to London for the first time since their landmark Wembley shows back in 2019.
The two nights were part of the group’s Arirang World Tour, their first since reuniting following military service. London was the only date on the run.
The tour’s signature trick is a 360-degree stage, which is a departure from the group’s earlier stadium runs, and there certainly wasn’t a bad seat in the house.
The group launched into their main set around 7.20pm, powering through a mammoth list of songs stretching to almost two and a half hours, wrapping the show up well before the stadium’s 10.30pm curfew.
London decided to throw in a heatwave for good measure, with temperatures pushing past 30 degrees on both nights. The week around the shows turned into a citywide takeover, with a boat experience on the Thames, landmarks lit up in red, and a host of fan events at the Korean Cultural Centre to Outernet, and the pop-up shop in Oxford Street.
The emotional sold-out nights in London have given ARMY plenty to talk about, and quite a few hoarse voices.
BTS is currently wrapping up the North American leg of Arirang, a run that kicked off in April in Tampa, Florida. Four shows are due to take place at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. The stretch has taken them through cities like Mexico City, Las Vegas, Paris, East Rutherford, Toronto, and Chicago. It’s been a massive homecoming event after years off the road. The seven members only officially reunited as a group back in June 2025, after completing their mandatory military service in their native South Korea.
After North America, the group heads to Latin America, Australia, and Asia in late 2026 and early 2027. Stops including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Hong Kong, plus Sydney and additional Australian dates. The tour ends in March 2027.
