[Herald Muse=Reporter Kim Nayul] BTS kicks off its North American tour.
BTS will open their BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN NORTH AMERICA at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on the 25th, 26th and 28th (local time). They are slated to perform 31 shows across 12 North American cities, including El Paso, Mexico City and New York.
These U.S. dates mark the group’s first full-scale American concerts in about four years, since BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE in Las Vegas in April 2022.
Tampa, the tour’s kickoff city, has turned into a festival, welcoming BTS on their first full-group visit.
Local broadcasters also programmed special coverage. FOX 13 Tampa Bay scheduled “K-Pop: The Seoul Reach” for the 25th and 26th.
Another station, 10 Tampa Bay News, estimated the concerts would generate roughly $800–900 million in economic impact for the Tampa area (about ₩1.2–1.3 trillion), saying the shows are expected to produce significant ripple effects across the local economy.
BTS will continue the North American tour at El Paso’s Sun Bowl Stadium on May 2–3.
