BTS adds show in Melbourne for 'Arirang' world tour
BTS has added an extra Melbourne show to its ongoing “Arirang” world tour, its agency BigHit Music said on Tuesday.
The additional date brings the total number of the tour's concerts to 86 across 34 cities.
The added Melbourne show is scheduled for Feb. 10, 2027. Originally, the band was set to perform at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium next year from Feb. 12 to 13 and at Sydney's Accor Stadium from Feb. 20 to 21.
The band last visited Australia in May 2017, during its “Wings” tour.
BTS wrapped up the first North American leg of the “Arirang” tour at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Thursday. The run covered 15 shows across five cities, including Tampa, Florida, and Mexico City, selling out every date and drawing roughly 840,000 attendees, BigHit Music said.
The band is scheduled to hold concerts at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on June 12 and 13. It will then begin the European leg of the tour in Madrid on June 26 before returning for a second North American leg beginning in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in August.
