BTS Holds Two Concerts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, First London Shows Since 2019

BTS performed concerts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on July 6 and 7, 2026. These were the group's first shows in the capital since 2019, bbc.co.uk reported. London hosted the official programme BTS The City Arirang, which included exhibitions, pop-up stores, restaurant collaborations and cultural events tied to the group's latest album.

Hybe stated the programme aimed to extend the concert experience beyond the stadium by partnering with landmarks, communities and cultural organisations. Korean cafes and restaurants prepared dedicated offerings in advance. At Tokkia, a matcha cafe in Covent Garden, owner Sooji Im created a limited-edition Arirang matcha and dessert.

Customer numbers at Hongdae Pocha restaurant and pub in Chinatown almost doubled during the programme, director Jaeil Choi said. Fans travelled from Norway and the United States for the events. Camilla Gjermundnes and Helene Lindgren came from Norway, while Viviana Galindo and Nhan Tu arrived from the United States and planned to spend a week exploring London.

The two American fans had not visited the city for more than 20 years. Fans exchanged handmade bracelets, photocards and small gifts during the concerts. Choi said the interactions reminded him of the Korean concept of jeong, or warmth between people, and that he felt proud watching visitors of all ages engage with Korean culture.
