BTS Army, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!! THIS IS REAL LIFE!!! Just last year, Coldplay sold out two massive shows at the Sun Bowl, proving the city can absolutely handle world-class acts. Now BTS is next in line to do the same because they just announced their tour dates for their 2026-2027 World Tour!
If you somehow just crawled out from under a rock and have no idea who BTS is, don’t worry you are not alone! But I’m sure you have a niece or someone who is a fan! BTS, also known as Bangtan Sonyeondan or Beyond The Scene, is a South Korean group.
The group is made up of RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. They’ve shattered records worldwide with their music, sold out stadiums across continents, and built one of the most loyal fanbases on the planet: ARMY.
