BTS’ long-awaited return to the global stage continues to gain momentum as BigHit Music officially confirms additional North American tour dates for the group’s upcoming Arirang World Tour.
The announcement comes amid an overwhelming response from fans worldwide, with all Seoul-area shows in Goyang already completely sold out.
Due to what the agency described as “unprecedented demand,” one extra show has been added in each of three major US stops: Tampa, Stanford and Las Vegas.
These additions further strengthen the North American leg, which has quickly become one of the most competitive ticket races of the tour.
In Tampa, BTS will now perform an additional show on April 28 at Raymond James Stadium, following their previously announced dates on April 25 and 26.
Stanford fans will also get a second chance, as a new May 19 show has been added at Stanford Stadium, complementing the original May 16 and 17 concerts.
Meanwhile, Las Vegas, already one of the most in-demand stops, adds a May 28 date at Allegiant Stadium.
Ticketing for all three added shows will continue through Ticketmaster. BigHit Music also clarified that fans who have already completed ARMY Membership presale applications do not need to reapply, as their original selections remain valid.
The tour marks the septet’s first headline run since the 2021–2022 Permission to Dance on Stage concerts and follows the completion of mandatory military service by all seven members RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook.
Set to begin in South Korea this April, the Arirang World Tour spans over 70 dates across Asia, North America, South America, Australia and Europe, running through March 2027.
North American stops include cities such as New Jersey, Chicago, Toronto, Los Angeles, and Arlington, in addition to the newly expanded Tampa, Stanford and Las Vegas shows.
With BTS also slated to return to music on March 20, anticipation continues to build.
