BTS has announced detailed programmes of ‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG LAS VEGAS’ (hereafter ‘BTS THE CITY LAS VEGAS’).
‘BTS THE CITY LAS VEGAS’ will run in Las Vegas, Nevada from May 20 to May 31. The project will showcase a range of immersive experiences that combine the music and story of BTS’s fifth studio album ARIRANG with the city’s iconic landmarks.
Landmark locations across Las Vegas will be activated, with the Strip, Downtown, Off-Strip Hotels and digital marquees illuminated in the album’s signature red, alongside citywide welcome messages. Additionally, Sphere’s Exosphere will feature larger-than-life ARIRANG-themed visuals. ‘BTS THE CITY LAS VEGAS’ will also include food and beverage offerings, and exclusive after-party events.
Compared to ‘THE CITY’ in 2022, this year’s event has grown substantially in scale, incorporating new landmarks such as Sphere's iconic exterior, the Exosphere, and expanding the 'THE CITY' beyond the Strip to encompass Las Vegas as a whole. Programmes have evolved from one-off activations into a four-part series, carried out with support from Visit Las Vegas including initiatives such as the Red Illumination and Digital Marquee Takeover.
‘THE CITY’ project is an urban concert playground, expanding the fan experience beyond the venue with citywide attractions and immersive events that bring the group’s world into everyday spaces. Locations for the stamp rally missions and pre-reservations can be found on the map.
Please find the detailed programmes for ‘BTS THE CITY LAS VEGAS’ below. Schedule is subject to change depending on future conditions.
