The North American leg of BTS’s Arirang World Tour has concluded, following a five-month run of 31 sold-out shows across 12 cities. The leg drew an estimated 1.92 million fans and featured a record-breaking residency at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Prior to the transition to South America, the tour had generated $433.2 million in revenue and sold 2.3 million tickets as of August 2026. Following a nearly four-year hiatus, the group—comprising RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—is releasing a new studio album titled ‘ARIRANG’. The 14-track album, which features original songs developed by the members, draws on themes of longing, hope, and reunion. As of late September 2026, the ‘ARIRANG’ tour has reached new financial milestones. Data from Pollstar and BigHit Music indicates the group ranked first among the top 100 artists in the third-quarter global concert tour charts, generating approximately $465.8 million in ticket sales from 38 performances. This figure surpasses the total annual revenue of Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter Tour’, which recorded $407.6 million.
