BTS have set another touring milestone in South America: the group is the first and only artist to gross more than $30 million across three shows at Chile’s Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos, according to touring figures spotlighted on r/kpop.
The figure comes from a boxscore breakdown shared by the X account @touringasiapop, which tracks concert grosses and was picked up by fans on Reddit’s r/kpop community on October 22. KpopFizz has not independently verified the number.
The three shows — October 14, 16 and 17 — were the Santiago stop of the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’, the group’s first concerts in Chile since the Wings Tour in March 2017. Each night at the iconic national stadium played to a sold-out crowd.
No official statement was available from BIGHIT MUSIC on the reported gross as of publication.
The South American leg rolls on with stadium dates in Argentina and Brazil, as the ‘ARIRANG’ tour — which Billboard crowned the top-grossing tour of May with $127.8 million — continues its record run across the continent.
