BTS 2026 World Tour ARIRANG in Goyang, South Korea
BIGHIT MUSIC (HYBE)
BTS made history as South Korean artists with the most tour dates and the broadest regional reach to date with their 2026-2027 World Tour: ARIRANG, which began on April 9 in Goyang, South Korea. Their World Tour will have a total of 88 shows – so far – across 34 cities. There have been talks on additional dates in Japan and the Middle East.
Like all concert tours, the BTS World Tour: ARIRANG has a concrete setlist. Since the tour is centered on their latest studio album, ARIRANG, the setlist will mainly consist of those tracks – and it does.
The global superstars perform 14 out of the 15 ARIRANG tracks (sorry, “One More Night”). The group does perform their hidden track, “Come Over,” which was only on their deluxe vinyl, but has now been digitally released. The group also adds some of their past favorite songs into the mix – “Run BTS,” “Fake Love,” “Not Today,” “Mic Drop,” Fire” (a FYA remix version), “IDOL,” “Butter,” and “Dynamite.”

So far, BTS has been pretty consistent with their setlist, except for their Busan shows, which celebrated their group anniversary (FESTA), during which they played “One More Night” instead of “Please” and the Korean version of “Normal.”
The songs serve as a surprise for both the fans and the members. The members – RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook – tell the soundboard guy, “DJ, Spin that shit!,” prompting the random song from their discography to play. The members hilariously try to recall the lyrics and dance moves to some of the songs. V and Jimin seem to have the best memory when it comes to the dance choreography. When the concerts first began, the group initially did not repeat songs, but eventually ended up repeating a few, including “Spring Day,” “Dope,” “I Need U,” “Permission to Dance,” “Anpanman,” and “Magic Shop.”
With a discography of over 29 distinct album releases – studio albums, EPs, and single albums, BTS has over 200 songs to choose from. This does not include their remixes or solo work. The group has not played any solo songs, but has performed unit songs – rap line and vocal line – as a group, in honor of FESTA, which they were prepared for. Lyrics for the rap line appeared on the teleprompter with V’s name on it, allowing him the honor to rap the lyrics as the “honorary rap line member” – an inside joke among ARMY.
