BTS is spending the first week of September at SoFi Stadium, where the Los Angeles stop of the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ spans four concerts: September 1, 2, 5, and 6, 2026, in local Pacific time. For viewers in Korea, the final weekend streams at noon KST on September 6 and 7.
Los Angeles also officially proclaimed September 1–8 “BTS Week,” recognizing the group’s global cultural impact while welcoming fans for the four-show run. The proclamation is a confirmed civic action—not a fan nickname—and gives this tour stop wider significance than an ordinary concert update.

Weverse allows ticket sales until shortly after the listed start time, but refunds end one hour before the show.

Membership-only products require a valid BTS GLOBAL OFFICIAL FANCLUB ARMY MEMBERSHIP at purchase time.
Official Video: A Glimpse of the ARIRANG Tour
Insert here, after the schedule section:

Published July 9, 2026, this official performance clip is directly tied to the ARIRANG tour. It is preferable to an unofficial audience recording because it comes from BTS’s official artist channel and its YouTube page was verified as functioning.
Why “BTS Week” Is More Than a Concert Promotion

According to the Los Angeles City Tourism Department, city leaders welcomed BIGHIT representatives at City Hall, recognized BTS’s achievements and contribution to global music, and lit City Hall in the group’s honor. The department described the four Los Angeles concerts as sold out.
Analysis: The proclamation shows how large K-pop tours now function as both cultural events and destination-economy moments. A four-night stadium run concentrates travel, hospitality, fan events, merchandise activity, and international media attention in one city. “BTS Week” formalizes that relationship between fandom and civic promotion. It does not provide a verified visitor-spending estimate, so this article does not attach an unsupported economic figure to the celebration.
What Happens After Los Angeles?
BIGHIT MUSIC’s official tour page lists Bogotá on October 2–3 as the next stop after Los Angeles, followed by additional Latin American and Asian dates. The Associated Press’s overview likewise lists the four Los Angeles dates and places the tour’s continuation in Latin America during October.
Fans should treat the official BIGHIT and Weverse pages as the source of truth for late changes. Social posts and fan threads can be useful for atmosphere, but they should not replace organizer notices for times, access rules, refunds, or streaming eligibility.
