The Week BTS Took Over Las Vegas
The four Allegiant Stadium shows were not the only BTS presence in the city this week. On May 25, the group picked up Artist of the Year at the 52nd American Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena, their second win in the category. They opened the AMAs broadcast with a pre-taped performance of “Hooligan” recorded at the concert the previous night.
The Sphere had “Arirang” in rotation on its exterior LED display. Arte Museum Las Vegas ran a BTS exhibit. The Welcome to Las Vegas sign was lit red. Official afterparties ran at area nightclubs throughout the week.
KATSEYE members Sophia, Yoonchae, and Megan were also backstage at the Las Vegas stop.
The Arirang album, released March 20, 2026, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Lead single “SWIM” went to No. 1 on the Hot 100. The Arirang World Tour, BTS‘s sixth, launched April 9 in Goyang, South Korea and runs through 2027 across 85-plus dates in 34 cities. These four Las Vegas dates are the group’s first major performances since all seven members completed mandatory military service: RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook.
