BTS Tops Global Tour Revenue in 2026 With $465 Million From ARIRANG World Tour
BTS continues to prove its global popularity, ranking No. 1 in worldwide tour revenue during the first three quarters of 2026.
According to figures released by Pollstar, BTS’ ongoing ‘ARIRANG’ World Tour generated approximately $465.8 million in ticket sales from 38 shows held between April and August 2026. More than 2.31 million fans attended the concerts during the reporting period.
The figures put BTS at the top of the global touring market, surpassing the total revenue generated by the highest-grossing tour of 2025.
Last year, Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter Tour’ ranked first in annual tour revenue with approximately $407.6 million. BTS has already exceeded that figure by more than $58 million, despite its 2026 tour still being underway.
Las Vegas Becomes One of BTS’ Biggest Tour Stops
Among the cities included in the tour, Las Vegas recorded the largest attendance.
BTS performed four shows at Allegiant Stadium in May, attracting a combined audience of approximately 245,691 people. The Las Vegas concerts alone generated around $66.6 million in ticket revenue.
The impressive numbers highlight the enormous demand for BTS concerts following the group’s return to the global stage.
BTS’ ARIRANG Tour Continues in South America
The ‘ARIRANG’ World Tour is far from over.
BTS is scheduled to begin its South American leg on October 2 in Bogotá, Colombia. The group will then perform in Lima, Peru; Santiago, Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and São Paulo, Brazil.
The South American leg is scheduled to include 14 shows across five cities, giving BTS additional opportunities to increase its already record-breaking tour revenue.
‘ARIRANG’ Continues Its Chart Success
BTS is also maintaining a strong presence on music charts.
The group’s fifth studio album, ‘ARIRANG,’ ranked No. 30 on the latest Billboard 200 chart and extended its run on the chart to 26 consecutive weeks.
The album’s title track ‘SWIM’ also remained successful globally, ranking No. 5 on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 21 on the Global 200.
With the world tour still underway and strong chart performance continuing, BTS’ ‘ARIRANG’ era is shaping up to be another major milestone in the group’s global career.
