BTS to perform 3 sold out shows at Stanford Stadium this weekend: What to know

BTS is scheduled to perform three nights at Stanford Stadium in the Bay Area as part of the BTS WORLD TOUR “ARIRANG.” The shows are set for Saturday, May 16, Sunday, May 17, and Tuesday, May 19, with doors opening at 7 p.m. The performances are the group’s only Northern California stop on its comeback tour and its first Bay Area return in eight years. Attendance preparations are underway, with expectations that crowds will exceed recent major concerts at the venue. A previous sold-out Coldplay concert drew about 50,000 people each night, while this series is expected to be even larger. The tour follows the members’ completion of mandatory military service in South Korea, and fans are already arriving, with welcome signs set up at San Francisco International Airport.
