📅 BTS World Tour Arirang Los Angeles Dates & Location

Los Angeles and BTS go a long way back. Before they became globally famous, our Bangtan boys were struggling to continue as a group and gain a foothold in the K-pop industry. During that period, they traveled to the US to film their reality show, “American Hustle Life.” As part of the show, they held a free concert and invited LA residents by handing out flyers. Fast forward four years, and BTS went from holding free concerts to selling out stadiums in Los Angeles.

The forthcoming BTS Arirang World Tour in LA marks their return in almost five years. They will perform for four nights on September 1, 2, 5, and 6, at SoFi Stadium. They also held a four-night concert at the venue in 2021. The show titled “BTS Permission to Dance On Stage – LA,” welcomed 50,000 fans per night and recorded the biggest box office score ($33.3 million) total by any act in nearly a decade. Given Angelenos’ unwavering support for our OT7 members, BTS will likely set a new milestone this year as well at SoFi Stadium.
