BTS opened the European portion of its ARIRANG World Tour with a concert in Madrid on June 26. More than 66,000 fans attended the first of two shows at Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
The performance marked the K-pop group's first visit to Spain. BTS played 23 songs, opening with “Hooligan” and including “Aliens,” “Run BTS,” and surprise tracks “Airplane Pt. 2” and “Interlude: Wings.”
Members addressed the crowd in Spanish throughout the nearly two-and-a-half-hour set. J-Hope urged fans to “¡Vamos a volvernos locos!” while Jimin said through an interpreter that the group would not skip Madrid on future tours.
The show followed the end of the North American leg, which included three dates in Mexico City. The tour next moves to Brussels, London, Munich, and Paris before concluding in Manila on March 14, 2027.
