BTS 'Arirang' World Tour: How to watch it live in cinemas
So, you missed out on tickets to see BTS's long-awaited return. It sucks.
The ARIRANG world tour, the Bangtan Boys' first tour together in four years, is well underway. Set to hit 34 cities across the world, the tour kicked off in Goyang, South Korea on April 9 — and at this point, almost every one of the 82 shows is either sold out or on last seats. But there's good news, ARMY!
BTS is livestreaming three of their concerts in cinemas. Here's everything you need to know about the BTS World Tour Arirang Live Viewing.

When is the BTS World Tour Arirang Live Viewing?
BTS has already brought their ARIRANG world tour concerts to movie theaters, and as someone who watched it in a London cinema, I can say it's an absolute treat. Fans already attended the April 11 screening, streamed live from Goyang Stadium and the April 18 concert from the Tokyo Dome in Japan.
Another date has been added to the live viewing sessions: June 13, the second concert at Busan Asiad Main Stadium in South Korea.
The filmed concert series is a collab between HYBE, BigHit Music, and Trafalgar Releasing, who did the same thing with Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. All seven members of BTS — RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook — will perform songs from BTS's fifth studio album, ARIRANG, as well as that colossal BTS catalogue.
Times will vary across time zones, so check the website for your session times.
How to watch the BTS World Tour Arirang Live Viewing
Tickets for the BTS World Tour Arirang Live Viewing are available from the official website and ticket sellers such as Fandango.
Just find your nearest cinemas by filtering locations and pick your time slot. Prices will vary across countries.
If you want to buy tickets for the June 13 livestreamed Busan show, these go on sale May 28 at 9 a.m. ET.
Wait, didn't BTS already do a livestreamed concert?
They sure did, but that was a special event for Netflix marking the band's first performance together in four years. That was also when poor RM injured his ankle during rehearsal and performed seated or behind the slickest mic I've ever seen.
BTS The Comeback Live: Arirang is now streaming on Netflix, so if you've got a Netflix account, you can watch the set from Gwanghwamun, outside Seoul's Gyeongbokgung Palace, which includes BTS's first-ever live performances of songs from Arirang. While you're there, check out the Netflix documentary BTS: The Return — you won't regret it.
