BTS sets a new monthly touring record
BTS has reached another major milestone after breaking the record for the highest monthly concert revenue by a group in Billboard Boxscore history. According to the outlet, the seven-member team earned $127.8 million between May 2, 2026, and May 28, 2026, while selling 641,000 tickets across 12 concerts. These figures came from the United States and Mexico shows of the ARIRANG World Tour. The achievement allowed BTS to surpass the previous record of $95 million, which had been held by The Rolling Stones for seven years. It also marked the fourth time BTS topped Billboard’s monthly Top Tours chart, joining Beyoncé, Coldplay, Bad Bunny, and Elton John in the same achievement.

The ARIRANG World Tour continues to draw huge crowds
The ARIRANG World Tour started on April 9, 2026, and marks BTS’s return to large-scale touring after their military hiatus, during which the members enlisted and also took time to release solo projects. One of the biggest highlights of the group’s tour so far has been the four-concert run in Las Vegas. Those shows generated $49.5 million in revenue and attracted 246,000 fans, making them the top entry on Billboard’s Top Boxscores chart. Other sold-out performances in California, Texas, and Mexico City also contributed to the tour’s strong results and proved the tour’s success in the region.
The tour is expected to reach even greater milestones
Billboard also reported that BTS has now passed $500 million in career Boxscore earnings. As of now, the ARIRANG World Tour has generated $204 million in ticket sales and sold 1.1 million tickets. With more than 50 concerts still scheduled before the end of 2026, BTS’ global run is expected to become the highest-grossing concert tour of their career. If that happens, it will surpass the boy band’s Love Yourself World Tour, which was completed in 2019.
