BTS Arirang World Tour Live Viewing Opens Ticket Sales Across 80 Countries and 3,800 Theaters

BTS is taking their highly anticipated Arirang World Tour to fans across the globe with an unprecedented live viewing event. BigHit Music announced on February 25 that ticket sales have officially opened for the live viewing of the BTS World Tour 'ARIRANG,' allowing fans in approximately 80 countries and regions to watch the concerts on the big screen at around 3,800 theaters worldwide.

A Historic Tour Launch

The live viewing will broadcast two landmark concerts that mark the beginning of the Arirang World Tour. The first screening, set for April 11, will feature the tour's opening concert in Goyang, South Korea, while the second screening on April 18 will cover the Tokyo concert, which serves as the starting point for the tour's global leg. Both events have drawn massive global attention as they represent BTS's return to the world stage with their most culturally significant tour to date.

The tour is built around BTS's fifth studio album 'ARIRANG,' which features 14 tracks that reflect the group's current artistic vision. The album title pays homage to Korea's iconic folk song, blending traditional Korean cultural elements with BTS's signature contemporary sound. Industry insiders note that the album represents BTS at their most personal and culturally rooted, making the accompanying tour a must-see event for fans worldwide.

Accessible Pricing and Global Reach

One of the most notable aspects of the live viewing is its accessibility. According to Billboard, the tickets are designed to be affordable, ensuring that fans who may not be able to attend the concerts in person can still experience the energy of a BTS performance. The simultaneous broadcast format means that ARMY members across different time zones will share the same real-time concert experience, creating a unified global viewing event.

The live viewing screenings will be available at major theater chains across Asia, North America, Europe, South America, and Oceania. Fans can purchase tickets through their local theater booking platforms, with specific venue information available on the official BTS and BigHit Music channels. The 3,800-theater count makes this one of the largest K-pop live viewing events ever organized.

Beyond Goyang and Tokyo

While the initial live viewing covers the Goyang and Tokyo dates, BigHit Music has indicated that additional cities and dates will be announced as the tour expands. The Arirang World Tour is expected to visit major cities across multiple continents throughout 2026, with the full itinerary yet to be revealed. The scale of the live viewing program suggests that BTS and their management are committed to making this tour experience accessible to as many fans as possible.

With ticket sales now live and the April concerts approaching, anticipation among the global BTS fanbase continues to build. The combination of a culturally meaningful album, an expansive world tour, and an unprecedented global live viewing program positions the Arirang World Tour as one of the defining K-pop events of 2026.
