BTS Draws About 130,000 Fans in Two Sold-Out London Shows

The turnout signals sustained global demand for the Arirang tour, with upcoming Munich and Paris dates plus a World Cup Final Halftime Show on July 19.

Overview

  • The group performed two sold-out concerts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 6 and 7 that drew roughly 65,000 fans each and about 130,000 in total, according to Big Hit Music and promoter Live Nation.
  • Promoters said the per-show crowds were the largest for any concert at the stadium since it opened in 2019, marking a new attendance benchmark for the venue.
  • BTS mixed songs from their latest album, including “Hooligan,” “Normal” and “Body to Body,” with older hits such as “Idol” and “Fire,” drawing strong praise from fans and critics.
  • The London dates were the band’s first full-group solo concerts in Britain since their 2019 Wembley shows, a return the members described as recalling the emotion of that earlier run.
  • The Arirang tour, launched in April in Goyang and billed as the largest in K-pop history, continues with concerts at Munich’s Allianz Arena, shows in Paris on July 17–18 and a World Cup Final Halftime Show on July 19.
