BTS Just Broke All-Time Concert Records at 4 NFL Stadiums on Their ARIRANG Tour

BTS has done something even they hadn't managed before: the group set all-time concert revenue records at four separate NFL stadiums during their ongoing ARIRANG world tour, with Billboard's newly released ranking of 30 US NFL stadium concerts confirming the feat.

The biggest number belongs to Las Vegas. Four shows at Allegiant Stadium this past May drew 246,000 fans and generated $49.5 million in ticket sales, making it the highest-grossing run in the venue's history since it opened. For context, BTS's own 2022 shows at the same stadium now rank second on that all-time list, meaning the group holds both the top two spots.

Record after record across the country

The Las Vegas total is the headline, but the breadth of what BTS achieved across the US leg is just as striking. At Foxborough's Gillette Stadium, the group topped the all-time chart with $28.7 million in revenue. Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium recorded $27.6 million, and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa logged $40.7 million, each a new venue record. Even at MetLife Stadium in New York, one of the largest venues in the country, BTS landed in third place with $31.8 million, a remarkable result at a stadium where the all-time competition is fierce.

Big Hit Music noted that BTS was highlighted alongside Beyoncé and country legend George Strait as one of the driving forces in the global live music market, which gives a sense of the company BTS is keeping in terms of raw ticketing power.

ARIRANG tops the touring charts too

Beyond the venue-by-venue records, the ARIRANG tour also claimed the top spot on two Pollstar charts simultaneously: Live 75, which ranks tours by average monthly ticket sales, and Global Concert Pulse, which measures average per-show revenue. Hitting number one on both at the same time is the kind of double that doesn't happen often, and it signals that the tour isn't just selling well in specific markets, it's consistently dominant show to show.

The South American leg begins October 2, when the group kicks off in Bogotá, Colombia. From there, BTS will visit Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo, with a total of 14 shows across those five cities. Big Hit Music confirmed that the tour schedule extends into the first half of next year, with additional dates in the Middle East and Japan still to be announced.
