TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 Attention, ARMY!<\/p>\n
After a four-year hiatus, the iconic K-pop band BTS is back performing, with their first stop in the U.S. happening this weekend right here in Tampa<\/a>.<\/p>\n This weekend’s three-show concert is part of the band’s “Arirang” tour. They’ve already made five stops since early April in South Korea and Tokyo.<\/p>\n Ahead of BTS’ Tampa takeover, the hype is real as 60,000 fans are expected to attend each night of the concert.<\/p>\n Here’s everything you need to know ahead of this weekend’s BTS concerts.<\/p>\n
BTS is performing back-to-back nights at Raymond James Stadium this Saturday and Sunday, followed by one last show this coming Tuesday.<\/p>\n The start time for all three shows is at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n Tampa Bay Boulevard<\/a> in front of Raymond James Stadium is already shut down and will remain so until 6 p.m. Wednesday as the area is hosting an entire BTS merchandise stand<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Just how big is the K-Pop band BTS? Big enough to shut down an entire road – for their merchandise,” the city of Tampa wrote blatantly.<\/p>\n Tampa officials are urging drivers to be aware of the possible traffic delays due to the shows. They recommend using alternative transportation options, which can help make moving around easier.\u00a0<\/p>\n Traffic signage will be posted, and security will be on site.<\/p>\n
Outside of the three concerts, another K-pop event taking over Tampa is the fan festival happening at Perry Harvey Sr. Park, which is roughly 10 minutes from Raymond James Stadium.<\/p>\n The event takes place from 1-9 p.m. Friday through Sunday, with food, photocard trading, a K-pop deco station, merch and vendors.<\/p>\n Friday and Saturday night, you can head there for the official after party taking place from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.<\/p>\n
