BTS' Goyang concerts: Where to watch the Arirang World Tour kickoff shows
BTS is set to kick off their Arirang World Tour tonight, April 9, at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea.
The band is expected to go all out, with the media dubbing it as “the biggest K-Pop tour of all time.” BTS will play three nights in Goyang before performing in 34 regions across five continents, with a total of 79 shows so far.
ARMYs lucky enough to be there at Goyang — like Shaira Diaz, Megan Young, and Mariz Umali — will get experience all that's been promised: the 360-degree immersive stage, with “the audience at the center of the experience while allowing for increased capacity at every venue.”
