BTS will hold additional concerts in Australia.
On the 2nd, BTS announced via Weverse that it will add one more show to the 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'' concert in Melbourne scheduled for next February. With this addition, BTS's world tour has expanded to a total of 34 cities and 86 shows.
BTS will visit Australia for the first time since May 2017, approximately 9 years and 10 months after '2017 BTS LIVE TRILOGY: EPISODE III. THE WINGS TOUR'. In particular, Accor Stadium, where the Sydney concert will be held, is one of Australia's largest performance venues, having hosted concerts by world-class artists such as Adele and Oasis. BTS will be the first Korean artist to perform there.
BTS concluded the first leg of its North American tour on May 28 (local time) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, USA. This tour was held in 15 shows across five cities, including Tampa and Mexico City, with all shows selling out and drawing approximately 840,000 spectators.
US music specialty outlet Consequence described the Las Vegas concert as a "triumphant return" and highlighted BTS's ability to connect closely with audiences in large venues. In particular, it selected the moment when the Korean folk song 'Arirang' was sung in unison during the 'Body to Body' performance as a highlight of the show. The outlet noted the way large-scale pop performances were combined with deep cultural elements.
US entertainment outlet The Hollywood Reporter referred to BTS as a "global powerhouse," spotlighting how their high-energy performances captivated the local audience. US economic magazine Forbes covered key moments from the concert along with 'BTS THE CITY ARIRANG - LAS VEGAS', pointing out that BTS's influence is expanding beyond the venue to the entire city.
