BTS Sells Out Tokyo Dome as ‘Arirang’ Tour Reaches First Overseas Stop

The Dome return signals surging demand ahead of the North American leg.

Overview

  • BTS drew roughly 110,000 fans across two sold‑out Tokyo Dome shows at the first international stop of its ‘Arirang’ world tour.
  • The set built to a mass sing‑along during “Body to Body,” which weaves the Korean folk song “Arirang” into the track as BigHit Music had predicted.
  • Fans sang word for word to global hits like “Butter” and “Dynamite,” while the group spoke in Japanese and performed local favorites such as “Crystal Snow” and “For You.”
  • The concerts marked BTS’s first return to the Tokyo Dome since the ‘Love Yourself: Speak Yourself’ tour in 2019.
  • The tour began in Goyang and spans more than 30 cities worldwide, with North America up next and a finale scheduled in Manila next year, according to the group’s website.
