K-pop global superstars BTS are expanding their reach in South America as the group prepares for the Latin American leg of their 2026 world tour. BIGHIT MUSIC has officially announced the upcoming BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN LATIN AMERICA, bringing the highly anticipated production to fans across the region.
The announcement comes amid intense demand from the global ARMY fanbase. According to official notices from BIGHIT MUSIC, schedules for the tour will vary by country and region, with specific ticket information and presale applications being managed through the ARMY MEMBERSHIP system via Weverse.
Adding to the excitement, recent reports indicate a significant expansion of the tour’s footprint. On Wednesday, April 8, it was announced that BTS will add three additional concerts to the Latin American leg of the “Arirang” world tour, scheduled for October according to Yonhap news.
BTS World Tour ARIRANG 2026: Lima, Peru Dates
Peru has emerged as a primary destination for the tour, with multiple dates already slated for the capital. The BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG 2026 IN LIMA is currently scheduled for October 9 and October 10, 2026 per event listings. These shows are set for a Friday and Saturday, respectively.
Whereas the dates are confirmed, the specific venue in Lima remains “To Be Announced” (TBA). Fans are encouraged to monitor official channels for the final location reveal and ticketing windows.
Global Tour Timeline and Other Stops
The “Arirang” tour is a massive global undertaking with several key dates already established across different continents. Before arriving in Latin America, the group will be performing in South Korea. The BTS World Tour ARIRANG 2026 is scheduled to hit Goyang, South Korea, on April 9, 11 and 12, 2026, at the Goyang Stadium per tour data.
Following the Latin American dates in October, the tour is expected to continue into the end of the year. For instance, dates have been listed for Bangkok, Thailand, on December 3, 5, and 6, 2026 per tour schedules.
| Location | Dates | Venue |

Ticketing and Membership Access
Securing tickets for a BTS event is notoriously competitive. BIGHIT MUSIC has emphasized that the ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE (GLOBAL) is the primary route for fans to secure tickets before they go on general sale via official Weverse notices.
The presale application process is managed through specific links provided by the agency. Because schedules and ticket availability vary by region, fans in Latin America are advised to check the specific requirements for their respective countries to ensure they do not miss the application window.
What Which means for the Latin American Market
The addition of three more shows to the Latin American leg underscores the massive growth of the K-pop phenomenon in the region. By expanding the number of dates, the group aims to accommodate the surge in demand that often leads to rapid sell-outs in major metropolitan hubs like Lima.
The “Arirang” tour represents a significant cultural moment, blending the group’s global pop influence with a theme that resonates with Korean heritage, bringing a unique artistic perspective to their international audience.
For those looking for the most current updates, the official BIGHIT MUSIC notices on Weverse and the group’s official social media channels remain the only verified sources for venue announcements and ticket links.
The next confirmed checkpoint for the tour is the upcoming series of shows in Goyang, South Korea, starting April 9, 2026. We invite our readers to share their excitement and tour plans in the comments below.
