BTS South America Tour 2026: All 14 Shows Across Five Cities

The BTS South America tour 2026 schedule spans five cities and 14 stadium shows in October, taking the group from Bogotá to Lima, Santiago, the Buenos Aires stop in La Plata, and São Paulo. Live Nation’s listings confirm two performances in Colombia and three each in Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil.

The opening shows are scheduled for October 2 and 3 in Bogotá, while São Paulo closes this part of the itinerary on October 28, 30, and 31. For fans comparing announcements, the distinction between a city name and its actual venue matters: the concerts promoted as Buenos Aires take place at Estadio Único de La Plata.

Four of the five stops now have three nights each. The complete October schedule adds up to 14 performances across five countries. Below is the full calendar, followed by the details that help explain how this South American leg fits together.

Source: Live Nation’s BTS event calendar, checked September 14, 2026. Dates are the local calendar dates shown by the promoter. The table does not assign a universal start time: ticket holders should use their own event’s current instructions for doors, entry, and the performance.

Bogotá opens the South American run

Bogotá is the first stop in this sequence, with back-to-back performances at Estadio El Campín on October 2 and 3. It is also the only stop in the current five-city schedule with two shows rather than three. That makes Colombia’s opening weekend structurally different from the four stops that follow.

The Live Nation Bogotá event page identifies the tour as BTS World Tour “ARIRANG” in Latin America and connects readers to the local ticketing provider. Fans should choose the individual date they intend to attend rather than assume a general artist listing covers both nights.

For the tour itself, two consecutive nights provide the starting point for a month of stadium performances across the region. For readers following from elsewhere, Bogotá is the first October date to watch for official concert photographs and any confirmed performance coverage. A scheduled concert, however, is not a promise of a broadcast or livestream.

Lima begins a recurring three-show pattern

BTS is scheduled to perform at Lima’s Estadio San Marcos on October 7, 9, and 10. The Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday arrangement then repeats in Santiago, Argentina, and São Paulo. That weekly rhythm makes the calendar relatively easy to follow, although each city has its own venue and ticketing arrangements.

The official Live Nation Peru listing includes the October 7 performance and links to the other Lima dates. Readers working from an older image or a shortened social post should compare it with all three current listings before sharing a schedule with other fans.

Three nights give audiences three separate opportunities to attend the Lima stop. They do not, by themselves, establish how many tickets have been sold or how many people will attend. Stadium configurations vary, and the usable audience area for a concert can differ from a venue’s capacity for other events. This article therefore does not multiply a stadium capacity by three to estimate attendance.

BTS Heads to Santiago for Three Shows

Santiago’s performances are listed for October 14, 16, and 17 at Estadio Nacional, formally named Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos. In the October itinerary, Chile sits between Peru and Argentina, making Santiago the middle stop of the five-country run.

The promoter’s Santiago listing provides the venue and local ticketing route. As with Lima, Wednesday is followed by Friday and Saturday; Thursday is not included as a performance date in the verified schedule.

That spacing is useful context when describing the tour. “Three shows in Santiago” does not mean three consecutive nights, and the same distinction applies to the remaining three-show stops. A precise calendar tells readers more than a headline number alone, particularly when fans are comparing dates across countries or deciding which performance they can attend.

The Buenos Aires stop is in La Plata

The Argentina performances are scheduled for October 21, 23, and 24 at Estadio Único de La Plata. Although the event is marketed under Buenos Aires, the venue name identifies La Plata as the concert location. This is a practical detail worth keeping in the headline schedule rather than burying in a ticketing note.

Fans attending the Buenos Aires stop should plan around the La Plata stadium address, not assume the show is in central Buenos Aires. The official event listing is the reference point for the venue and its ticketing link.

The three Argentina dates maintain the same Wednesday–Friday–Saturday pattern established in Lima. They also place the stop immediately before Brazil in the verified route. No travel time between a hotel and the stadium is assumed here: that depends on the departure point, traffic, and whatever transport arrangements are available for the chosen night.

São Paulo closes October with three performances

São Paulo hosts the final three shows in this South American sequence on October 28, 30, and 31 at Estádio MorumBIS. The last listed date falls on Saturday, bringing this part of the tour to a close at the end of the month.

The São Paulo dates appear in Live Nation’s current BTS calendar. Together with Argentina’s three performances, they account for six of the 14 October shows. Colombia, Peru, and Chile account for the other eight.

Calling São Paulo the closing stop refers specifically to this South American itinerary. It should not be read as the end of the entire world tour. Regional calendars are useful because they bring related dates into one place, but they describe only one portion of a much larger touring schedule.

How this leg fits the ARIRANG world tour

The promoter’s event titles place these concerts within the ARIRANG world tour. The group listed in Live Nation’s artist biography consists of RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook. For international readers who have followed individual members’ activities, the October calendar is a group touring schedule.

When the world tour was announced in January, The Associated Press described it as BTS’s first tour since the 2021–22 Permission to Dance on Stage run, following the members’ military-service period. That history gives the new dates significance beyond the simple number of stadium bookings.

For audiences in South America, the relevant development is a full month of performances across five countries. The itinerary allows the story to be told regionally while preserving the differences between each local stop. Fans in Bogotá are not attending the same event as fans in São Paulo, even though both are part of the same named tour.

Readers interested in the wider tour can also explore KWaveScope’s BTS ARIRANG Los Angeles concert guide. That article provides a related stop to read about; its venue rules, timing, or broadcast information should not be applied automatically to South America.

What the calendar tells us—and what remains unconfirmed

The dates establish the route, the venues, and the number of scheduled performances. They do not establish a final set list, surprise guests, ticket revenue, or a regional attendance record. Those are separate questions that require their own evidence.

A multi-night stop also does not guarantee a different set list each night. Fans may naturally hope for particular songs or special moments, but predictions should remain clearly identified as predictions. Until official performance details are available, the useful confirmed information is the date and place of each show.

The same care applies to footage. An official tour announcement, a music video, a rehearsal clip, and a recording from a completed concert are different kinds of material. A video released before these October performances cannot document an event that has not yet happened. Any later update should identify the location and date of the footage it includes.

For a music-focused companion to the schedule, see our BTS “SWIM” chart coverage. It offers a separate angle on the group’s releases without treating chart performance as evidence about concert attendance or ticket availability.

Following BTS beyond the concert dates

A tour calendar is often the starting point for readers returning to an artist’s work. Some will want to revisit the music, while others will be interested in the group’s lyrics, personalities, and activities outside the stage. Those interests can sit alongside a concert report without being confused with the show itself.

KWaveScope’s guide to the BTS lyrics and recipe books covers another part of that wider release calendar. It is a useful additional read for fans interested in the group’s published material, rather than a source of information about concert entry or the October set list.

The strongest way to follow a busy period is to keep each announcement attached to its source. The promoter confirms the event listing, the ticket provider handles the particular ticket offer, and an official artist announcement may explain the performance or related release. Separating those roles makes updates easier to understand when multiple stories appear at once.

BTS South America tour 2026: a checklist before booking

Once you have chosen a performance, compare the event page with the ticket details before completing a purchase. These checks are especially useful when several nights at the same stadium appear together in search results.

• Match the date: confirm the day and month on the ticket selection screen, not just the artist’s name.
• Match the venue: for Argentina, look for Estadio Único de La Plata and check its location before choosing accommodation.
• Review the ticket conditions: check the seating or standing area, entry requirements, and the seller’s transfer and refund terms.
• Return for updates: revisit the organizer’s page closer to the concert for any published entry instructions or schedule changes.
