BTS returned to London, and this time the megagroup drew roughly 130,000 fans across two sold-out nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday and Tuesday.
The turnout was the largest the venue has seen since it opened in 2019, promoter Live Nation said.
The “BTS World Tour 'Arirang' in London” was the band's first stop in London in seven years. BTS last played the city in June 2019, when it became the first Korean act to headline Wembley Stadium.
BTS performed “Hooligan,” “Normal” and “Body to Body” from its latest album “Arirang,” and also sang hit tracks such as “Idol” (2018) and “Fire” (2016).
The band said the concert gave them the opportunity to reminiscence about their Wembley performance.
Rolling Stone UK and The Guardian both awarded the concert five stars, with the former calling the concert a “coronation.”
The Times gave the concert a four-star review, titling it “a pleasingly carefree sequel from the kings of K-pop.”
