BTS’ massive global tour, Arirang, will hit 10 cities in the United States and guess which city the group hasn’t visited and is most excited about?
It’s El Paso!
The group was interviewed a few days ago on the Elvis Duran Show on Z100 and said they were most excited about visiting El Paso. Duran pointed out that El Paso is a border city, so many fans from Mexico will be coming to the show.
“El Paso is a small town, but when it comes to a BTS concert, they are all coming in. It’s going to be a great party,” Duran said.
BTS will perform in El Paso as part of its newly announced 2026 world tour.
Indeed, the International music group is coming to the Sun Bowl for two nights, May 2-3, and tickets for the El Paso shows are sold out on Ticketmaster.com.
Border Army has been keeping busy making freebies to exchange, from phone charms and stickers to BTS member photo cards.
The massive global tour will kick off on April 9 in South Korea and span 34 regions and include more than 80 shows. The group will make other stops in Asia, the United States and Europe before making their way to South America.
