The group BTS set another new record in London, UK.

On the 6th and 7th (local time), BTS held 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN LONDON' at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, UK, meeting with approximately 130,000 fans.

According to Live Nation, the concert organizer, all sessions sold out immediately upon ticket opening, drawing the largest audience per session among concerts held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since its opening in April 2019.

BTS has been setting meaningful records every time they visit London. In June 2019, they became the first Korean artists to hold a solo concert at Wembley Stadium, leaving new footprints in the performance industry. After returning to London for the first time in about seven years, they showcased their overwhelming presence by setting a new record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this time.

London had been ablaze with enthusiasm for BTS even before the concert. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium also highlighted their concert through its official channel. Introducing BTS as 'Pop Royalty,' the stadium's official Korean account posted a video of their fifth studio album 'ARIRANG' title track 'SWIM' echoing throughout the venue ahead of the performance, welcoming fans from around the world.

Over two days, BTS maximized audience immersion with perfect live performances and choreography. Opening with 'Hooligan' from 'ARIRANG,' they performed new tracks such as 'NORMAL' and 'Body to Body,' alongside global hits like 'IDOL' and 'FIRE,' continuously raising the atmosphere in the stadium to its peak.

They said, "We are leaving with the same emotions we felt at Wembley Stadium seven years ago. Thanks to your passion, we had a truly enjoyable time today. Many memories of past performances came back to us, and we were once again surprised to realize 'London is such a passionate city.'"

Praise from foreign media also continued. Rolling Stone UK and The Guardian both awarded the concert a perfect five-star rating. Rolling Stone UK compared this concert to a coronation, stating, "BTS has reclaimed the throne as the world's biggest band." It further praised them for delivering a performance like a masterclass to fans who had waited for their stage for a long time. The Guardian likened the show to a movie, calling it an "incredibly joyful spectacle" blending fireworks and diverse visuals. The outlet added, "The power BTS possesses is powerful."

The Times, Britain's leading daily newspaper, gave the concert four stars, evaluating it as a grand stadium show that offered rich visual experiences and energy. It mentioned large-scale performances, special effects, and stage designs utilizing the entire stadium, describing the music as having "both intensity and addictiveness at the same time." It vividly introduced the heat by noting, "The audience's enthusiastic response during the 'MIC Drop' and 'FYA' stages seemed to shake the stadium." NME focused on BTS's Korean identity, which incorporated traditional Korean music, architecture, and dance throughout the performance.

Meanwhile, BTS will continue their European tour by becoming the first Korean artists to enter Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the 11th and 12th.
