BTS to Kick Off US Tour Leg in Tampa This Weekend – Get Tickets
The long-awaited BTS Arirang World Tour kicked off this month in Goyang, South Korea, following their touring hiatus for mandatory military service, with three fully sold-out shows. The K-pop band then traveled to Tokyo for two shows, and this weekend, BTS will headline its first major United States shows since 2022. Get tickets to see BTS in Tampa this weekend.
The Tour Setlist
The Arirang tour has had five shows so far, so we have a fair idea of the setlist for the show, although the band does sometimes switch it up. The show is broken into three acts. So far, the first two acts have remained consistent from show to show, while the third act has seen more variety.
Act 1
- "Hooligan"
- "Aliens"
- "Run BTS” (remix)
- "they don't know 'bout us"
- "Like Animals"
- "FAKE LOVE" (with elements of the Rockin' Vibe mix)
- "SWIM"
- "Merry Go Round"
Act 2
- "2.0"
- "NORMAL"
- "Not Today" (remix)
- "MIC Drop" (Steve Aoki remix)
- "FYA"
- "Fire" (remix with elements of FYA)
- "Body to Body"
- "IDOL" (with elements of the Stadium remix)
Act 3
- "Come Over"
- "Butter"
- "Dynamite"
- Switches at each stop, e.g. "Save ME,” “Dope,” or “Mikrokosmos”
- "Crystal Snow" (first time since 2018) or “I Need U”
- "Please"
- "Into the Sun"
Since the tour is still in its early stages, there’s potential for this setlist to switch up at any time, but as of now, this is the best guess for what fans will see in Tampa.
Where Is BTS Performing
BTS is performing at Raymond James Stadium on April 25, 26, and 28. The venue is a very convenient distance from the airport for out-of-town fans; however, there’s no dedicated shuttle. Arrange a private shuttle or car service to get a direct ride. You can also book a rideshare or taxi to the stadium or use public transit if available when you arrive.
When to Arrive
The parking lots open at 8:30 AM for the most dedicated fans. Gates for the show open at 5:30 PM, but fans with floor tickets or looking to snag specific high-demand merch are expected to start lining up well before then.
BTS concerts feature official light sticks called ARMY bombs that fans can purchase and wave during the show. They light up in synchronized displays throughout the crowd. Fans can pre-order ARMY bombs for pick-up at the venue, wait in line at specific merch stands, or find them in ARMY bomb express lanes. If you’re looking to secure an ARMY bomb before the show, the earlier you arrive, the better.
Raymond James Stadium Bag Policy
There is a strict no bag policy at Raymond James Stadium aside from small clutches no larger than 4.5” by 6.5.” Make sure to measure your bag before heading to the concert. Bags do not need to be clear, and clear bags larger than the size limit will not be permitted.
Freebie Policy
Freebies are small handmade items that fans bring to BTS concerts to give away to other fans and bond. Examples include small keychains, beaded bracelets, and photocards. Fans are permitted to bring freebies into the concert as long as they fit in their hands, pockets, or a small clutch bag.
The Openers
BTS doesn’t have opening acts at their concerts; instead, they use pre-recorded videos, dubbed VCRs, for openings and transitions between acts. Rather than opening acts, fans can sit back and enjoy more of their favorite K-pop artists.
