BTS has broken yet another record after attracting around 130,000 concert-goers across two sold-out shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. According to Big Hit Music on Thursday, July 9, 2026, the performances drew the largest audience ever recorded for concerts at the stadium since it opened in April 2019. Promoter Live Nation confirmed the achievement, making BTS the highest-attended concert act in the British venue’s history. The achievement comes seven years after the seven-member team made history by becoming the first Korean act to headline Wembley Stadium during their Love Yourself tour in 2019.
“It felt like we were reliving the emotions we experienced at Wembley Stadium seven years ago,” the artists said, as quoted in Big Hit Music’s press release. “Thanks to your passion, we had an incredible time. It also brought back many memories from our previous concerts and once again reminded us just how passionate London is.”
During the concerts on Monday, July 6, 2026, and Tuesday, July 7, 2026, BTS mostly performed songs from their latest album, ARIRANG, including “Hooligan,” “Normal,” and “Body to Body.” The setlist also featured fan-favorite hits, such as “Idol” and “Fire,” giving the audience a little mix of the group’s hits in between their latest music. The concerts marked BTS’ long awaited return to the United Kingdom after several years away from the country.
According to Live Nation, BTS set a new record for the HIGHEST attendance per show since Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened in 2019.
