AceShowbiz - Fans of BTS are gearing up for two exciting citywide celebrations tied to the group's latest album, ARIRANG. On Monday, April 20, the K-pop sensation revealed plans for BTS The City ARIRANG Las Vegas and BTS The City ARIRANG Busan, immersive events designed to extend the concert experience beyond traditional venues and into the heart of iconic cities.

These events are crafted to merge the music and storytelling of BTS’s fifth studio album, ARIRANG, with the distinctive landmarks and culture of each host city. The initiative builds upon the group's previous urban concert playground concept, promising fans an expanded, interactive experience that celebrates both the album and the cities.

BTS The City ARIRANG Las Vegas is scheduled to run from May 20 through May 31 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This period will align closely with BTS’s live performances at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, where the group will perform on May 23, 24, 27, and 28. The Las Vegas iteration will transform well-known locales across the city, featuring the famous Strip and various digital marquees illuminated in the album's signature red hues and welcoming messages for the global fanbase, known as ARMY.

Additional attractions in Las Vegas will include themed hotel experiences, exclusive food and beverage specials, and unique after-parties, all designed to deepen fans’ engagement with the ARIRANG album and BTS’s artistic vision. These immersive elements aim to create a multi-sensory celebration that extends beyond music to lifestyle and culture.

Following the Las Vegas run, BTS The City ARIRANG Busan will take place from June 5 to June 21 in Busan, South Korea. Details regarding the programming and schedule for Busan’s event are expected to be announced later. This continuation in South Korea will keep the momentum going for fans eager to celebrate the album and BTS’s ongoing global impact.

Last month, BTS released their 10th studio album, ARIRANG, which has inspired this innovative concert and citywide festival approach. The group began their worldwide ARIRANG tour with three shows in Goyang, South Korea on April 9, followed by a two-night engagement at Tokyo Dome in Japan. Next, they will launch their North American leg at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, starting April 25.

This new chapter of citywide events builds on the success of the 2022 The City Las Vegas experience. For 2026, the scale and ambition have been dialed up significantly, promising an unforgettable celebration for fans in both the U.S. and South Korea. With iconic city landmarks activated and a range of immersive activities, BTS The City ARIRANG aims to redefine how fans connect with music and place.

Below are the official dates for these events:

BTS The City ARIRANG Las Vegas: May 20–31, 2026 (PDT)
BTS The City ARIRANG Busan: June 5–21, 2026 (KST)

These events run alongside the BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG shows in Las Vegas and Busan, creating a comprehensive, city-spanning celebration of the band’s newest work and their global fan community.

As anticipation builds, fans around the world are preparing to experience BTS in an entirely new way—through immersive environments that bring the music and stories of ARIRANG to life across two continents.
