The long-awaited reunion is officially happening on Philippine soil. Following their military discharge and the massive success of their Arirang comeback album, K-pop icons BTS are officially bringing their colossal BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ to the Philippines.
In a fresh update dropped by BIGHIT MUSIC, the venue and the highly anticipated ticket selling schedules have finally been locked in. If you are aiming to be part of this historic event, here is your ultimate guide to securing your spot.
The Dates and the Venue
Unlike previous stadium stops, BTS is opting for a historic massive outdoor staging for their Philippine comeback.
- Dates: March 13 and 14, 2027
- Venue: Philippine Sports Stadium (Bulacan)
To make this tour even more legendary, BTS is ditching traditional staging layouts for a custom 360-degree “in-the-round” setup. This puts the stage directly at the center of the stadium, allowing for greater crowd capacity, unique staging production, and an immersive experience that brings fans closer to RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook from every single angle.
