BTS open the South American leg of their world tour ‘ARIRANG’ in Bogota on October 2, their first group visit to much of the continent.
The run covers five cities. After two nights at Nemesio Camacho El Campin in Bogota on October 2 and 3, the group plays Estadio San Marcos in Lima on October 9 and 10, Estadio Nacional in Santiago on October 16 and 17, then Estadio Unico de La Plata outside Buenos Aires on October 21, 23, and 24.
The leg closes with three nights at MorumBIS in Sao Paulo on October 28, 30, and 31. Bogota and Buenos Aires are receiving the group for the first time.
The La Plata City Council voted unanimously in July to name BTS guests of honor, citing the scale of the group’s cultural reach. Local and provincial authorities have since set up joint operations for crowd control around the stadium.
For the La Plata shows, the production has laid out a 360-degree stage at the center of the field.
Ahead of the South American dates, BTS wrapped the North American leg with 31 sold-out shows. ‘ARIRANG’ has also kept a long run on the Billboard 200.
