K-pop sensation BTS drew an astonishing 130,000 fans across two sold-out concerts at London’s iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, establishing a groundbreaking new attendance record for live performances at the prestigious venue.
Big Hit Music announced on Thursday that BTS’s ‘Arirang’ tour concerts, held on Monday and Tuesday, attracted the largest per-show audience for any concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since its grand opening in April 2019, as confirmed by promoter Live Nation.
This extraordinary achievement marks yet another significant milestone for K-pop superstars BTS in London. Notably, in 2019, the celebrated group made history as the first Korean act to headline Wembley Stadium during their globally acclaimed “Love Yourself” tour.
Across the two electrifying nights of the “Arirang” concerts, BTS captivated audiences with tracks from their latest album, including fan favorites like “Hooligan,” “Normal,” and “Body to Body.” They also ignited the stage with globally renowned hits such as “Idol” and “Fire,” showcasing their diverse discography.
Reflecting on their record-breaking performances, the BTS members stated, as quoted in Big Hit Music’s official press release: “It felt like we were reliving the emotions we experienced at Wembley Stadium seven years ago. Thanks to your immense passion, we had an incredible time. It also brought back many cherished memories from our previous concerts and once again powerfully reminded us just how passionate London truly is.”
The global K-pop superstars, BTS, are set to continue the highly anticipated European leg of their monumental world tour with two exhilarating concerts at Allianz Arena in Munich this Saturday and Sunday. This will mark another historic moment as they become the very first Korean act to headline the prestigious German venue.
Following their Munich dates, BTS will further extend their European tour to Paris on July 17 and 18, before making history once again by performing at the highly anticipated, first-ever World Cup Final Halftime Show on July 19.
