3,800 screens, 80+ countries
BTS will broadcast two concerts from their ARIRANG world tour's South American leg to approximately 3,800 theaters across more than 80 countries and regions. The screenings cover the third Buenos Aires show on October 24 (local time) and the second São Paulo show on October 30 (local time). In regions with significant time differences—South Korea, the rest of Asia, Australia—each performance screens one to two days after the live South American date.
All three major South Korean multiplex chains are participating: CGV, Lotte Cinema, and Megabox. Domestic ticket reservations opened September 17 at 10 AM KST. International sales started the same day.
The South America run
The South American leg kicks off October 2 in Bogota, Colombia. From there it moves to Lima, Peru. Then Santiago, Chile. Buenos Aires comes next with shows on October 21, 23, and 24. São Paulo follows with performances on October 28, 30, and 31. Fourteen concerts across five cities total. An official pop-up, BTS POP-UP : ARIRANG IN BOGOTA, opened September 19 to mark the Bogota opener and runs through October 18.
Where the tour stands
ARIRANG launched in Goyang in April and has already moved through Japan, North America, and Europe before reaching South America. The North American run made waves on the charts. Billboard's September 9 U.S. football stadium concert box office rankings placed BTS at the all-time top at four venues: Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Concert trade publication Pollstar also ranked ARIRANG first in both its Live75 and Global Concert Pulse charts. Four stadium records in one tour leg is rare.
