BTS Adds 2 New Shows to Sold-Out Wings Tour

According to a representative at BigHit Entertainment, “[The] BTS members are very excited to go on the world tour and to meet their fans worldwide. Sold out or not, the boys will prepare the best shows ever for U.S. fans, who have been very supportive and passionate since [their] debut.”

Tickets for the additional shows go on sale Dec. 17 at 11 a.m. local time for the respective venues.

The four concerts are BTS’ largest North American shows to date; it will be their first time hosting solo arena shows in the U.S. BTS previously performed at the Prudential Center during KCON USA last summer, but the solo concert raises BTS to the realm of K-pop’s elite: only six other Korean acts, including BIGBANG, g.o.d, EXO, and 2NE1, have headlined a show at the east coast arena. This will be BTS’s first solo concert in the greater New York metropolitan area since a tumultuous stop in New York City on their 2015 Red Bullet tour.

The US.. concerts are part of the multinational Wings Tour, which will kick off in South Korea in February, and also take BTS to Chile and Brazil. The concert series was announced in November through an artistic video trailer that incorporated BTS’ unique dramatic flair. The Wings Tour will be the group’s first set of solo shows since breaking K-pop’s record on the Billboard 200 in October, when BTS’ Wings album debuted at No. 26.
