BTS officially launched its massive ARIRANG world tour on April 9, 2026, in Goyang, South Korea, unveiling a structured 23-song setlist that blends material from their March 2026 comeback album with classic hits.

The 85-date tour spans 34 cities across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia, according to USA Today.

The setlist includes 12 of the 14 tracks from the new ARIRANG studio album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Concert Structure and Rotating Surprises

The concert is built around a main 16-song block that opens with the track Hooligan and includes older hits like FAKE LOVE and MIC Drop.

After the main set, a two-tier encore system begins with fixed songs: Come Over, Butter, Dynamite, Permission to Dance, Magic Shop, Please, and Into the Sun.

Two rotating surprise slots during the encore allow the setlist to change between performances, a strategy designed to encourage repeat attendance in major markets.

For example, in Goyang the rotating slots featured Mikrokosmos and I Need U; in Tokyo, Save Me and Crystal Snow; and in Tampa, Boy with Luv and Pied Piper.

A BTS member praised the Tampa stop, saying, "I felt it back then, too, but Tampa is truly No. 1.
