BTS « World Tour ‘Arirang’ »

On June 27, 2026, BTS brings their world tour ‘Arirang’ to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid. Formed in Seoul in 2010, the septet RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook has developed its own language that blends rap, singing and group choreography. They debuted in 2013 with 2 Cool 4 Skool and articulated a narrative about adolescence and academic pressure (Skool Luv Affair, Dark & Wild). With The Most Beautiful Moment in Life and Wings, their lyrics confront identity, the desire for emancipation and vulnerability head-on. The Love Yourself era opened the door to pop and electronic sounds without losing the rap pulse. Later, Map of the Soul: Persona and 7, and BE, fine-tuned the balance between melodic hooks, R&B and touches of EDM.

In Madrid, the project returns to a collective format after the partial pause for military service that began in 2022. ‘Arirang’ reviews their trajectory with a stadium set that pairs the songs that defined their career with more recent pieces—intense raps, crowd‑friendly choruses and precise choreography. It is a moment of reunion with the group energy that has defined their live performances from the start.
