BTS will continue its citywide project in Las Vegas.
On May 15, BTS posted an announcement for ‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG – Las Vegas‘ on fan communication platform Weverse.
The project marks the launch of “Global THE CITY 2.0,” an expanded version of the existing “THE CITY” campaign that will now be rolled out worldwide. It will feature the largest-scale city-linked campaign in the project’s history.
Back in 2022, BTS turned Las Vegas purple in celebration of its concert series. This year, the group is collaborating with the local tourism authority to transform the city in shades of red.
The campaign, titled “ARIRANG RED Illumination,” will light up the Las Vegas nightscape with the intense red color that serves as the key theme of BTS’ new release.
The world’s largest spherical entertainment venue, Sphere, will also be decorated with “ARIRANG”-themed attractions throughout the project period. Its entire exterior will be covered with related digital content.
Along the city’s famous tourism district, the Strip, a “BTS Welcome Outdoor Advertisement Takeover” will be displayed. Greeting messages welcoming the group will appear from 11 p.m. to midnight on concert days.
The High Roller observation wheel, the Eiffel Tower landmark, and major hotels along the Strip will also be illuminated in red. The synchronized displays will take place at designated times on May 23–24 and May 27–28, when the tour is underway.
Meanwhile, Tailgate Beach Club will host “THE CITY Welcome Party” events on May 22 and May 26. Collaborations with various food and beverage brands, as well as culinary tours, are also planned.
The group’s agency stated, “BTS THE CITY ARIRANG – Las Vegas will go beyond the concert experience and become a space where the entire city shares the artist’s brand experience.”
Meanwhile, BTS is set to perform at the halftime show of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium.
