BTS Launches 'ARIRANG' World Tour with Global Live Viewing Experience

Fans of BTS can now experience the group's new world tour on the big screen.

According to Big Hit Music, a label under HYBE Music Group, the 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'' concerts on April 11 in Goyang and April 18 in Tokyo will be available for Live Viewing. This service allows large audiences to gather in one location to watch concerts or sports events together.

BTS will kick off their massive world tour on April 9 at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium, covering 34 cities with 82 shows in total. The opening concerts in Goyang and Tokyo, marking the start of their global schedule, are drawing significant attention from music fans. With Live Viewing, fans worldwide can join in the excitement of the tour's commencement.

The Live Viewing will be held in over 3,500 theaters across 75 countries/regions. Due to time differences, some locations will offer delayed broadcasts, and the number of participating countries/regions and theaters is expected to increase. In South Korea, the screenings will be available at major multiplex chains such as CGV, Lotte Cinema, and Megabox. Ticket sales begin on the 25th at 10 AM.

BTS has already sold out 41 shows across North America and Europe, including venues like Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Stanford Stadium, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, and Allianz Arena in Munich. They will be the first Korean artists to hold solo concerts at these locations. In London, they achieved the highest seat occupancy rate for a single performance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

On April 20 at 1 PM, BTS will release their fifth studio album, 'ARIRANG'. The album is expected to resonate with global music fans by capturing the essence of 'the current BTS'. From the album release date until April 12, they will host 'BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SEOUL', an experiential content event combining music and media, with installations integrated into the cityscape of Seoul.
