BTS will Achieve Many Historic Firsts with ‘ARIRANG’ Tour
The “ARIRANG” tour is designed to be a landmark event in live music. BTS will become the first K-pop act to headline at legendary venues like Gillette Stadium, AT&T Stadium, and M&T Bank Stadium. Their performance at Stanford Stadium will be only the second musical event ever held at the venue, following Coldplay.
The centerpiece of the experience will be a custom 360-degree, in-the-round stage. This immersive design places the audience at the heart of the show. It also breaks down the traditional barrier between performer and fan and ensures an unobstructed view from nearly every seat in these massive stadiums.
The tour’s title, shared with their upcoming album, is deeply symbolic. “Arirang” is a centuries-old Korean folk song. It is a UNESCO-recognized piece of cultural heritage that embodies the Korean spirit of endurance, hope, and heartfelt emotion.
