BTS Makes History in Spain With Sold-Out Madrid Concerts

BTS officially launched the European leg of their ARIRANG World Tour on June 26, 2026, marking the group's first-ever concerts in Spain. More than 66,000 fans packed the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium for the first of two shows, with hundreds more gathering outside to sing along from a distance. 

The 23-song setlist alternated between tracks from their fifth studio album Arirang and some of their biggest career hits, with the 360-degree stage keeping all seven members in constant motion for nearly two and a half hours. 

The night was filled with emotional moments. In Madrid, the show's surprise songs were "Airplane Pt. 2" and "Interlude: Wings." During the final chorus of "Body to Body," thousands of purple fans were raised simultaneously as part of a fan project organized by ARMY to honor the group's first Spanish concert. The tour continues across Europe with stops in Brussels, London, Munich, and Paris before wrapping up in Manila in March 2027.
