BTS play final Lima stadium night on world comeback tour

On the evening of 10 October 2026, South Korean group BTS performed the last of three consecutive sold-out shows at Estadio San Marcos in Lima, Peru, the opening South American leg of their ARIRANG World Tour. The 8 pm local-time concert closed a run on 7, 9 and 10 October that marked the septet's first stadium dates in Peru and their first full group tour since all seven members completed mandatory South Korean military service. Promoter Live Nation says the tour will span more than 88 dates in 34 cities across 23 countries over 12 months, making it the largest K-pop tour ever mounted. On the same date, parallel K-pop concerts across the circuit included tripleS 'ANDLESS' in Seoul, TWS '24/7:FOR:YOU' in Singapore and Jay Park's LNGSHOT tour in Warsaw, underlining the genre's deepening global footprint. Peruvian broadcasters reported tens of thousands of fans camping outside the stadium through the week, with authorities deploying crowd-control measures around San Marcos and nearby metro stations. The Lima dates have been credited with boosting hotel bookings in the Peruvian capital and renewing scrutiny of ticket resale prices in Latin America, where face value for premium seats reportedly climbed past 1,800 US dollars on secondary markets.
