MANILA — Global pop supergroup BTS has added a third concert date in the Philippines, giving Filipino ARMYs another chance to see the group live following strong demand for tickets to its upcoming world tour stop in Bulacan.

In a report, it said that concert promoter Live Nation Philippines announced the additional show after the first two dates reportedly sold out in less than an hour, citing overwhelming fan demand.

“One more night, one more chance to experience BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN BULACAN,” the promoter said in a social media post.

The newly added concert is scheduled for March 16, 2027, at the Philippine Sports Stadium, extending the group’s Philippine stop beyond the previously announced March 13 and March 14 shows.

Tickets for the additional date will be available first through the ARMY Membership Presale on June 19, followed by general sales on June 20.

The first two Bulacan concerts had already generated massive demand, with tickets selling out quickly, reflecting strong anticipation for what will be BTS’ first full-group Philippine performance in nearly a decade.

The “ARIRANG” world tour marks the group’s return to full-group activities following the completion of mandatory military service in South Korea. It also supports their latest album “ARIRANG,” described as their first full-group release after years of solo and individual projects.

The seven-member group—RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook—has resumed group promotions this year, fueling global interest in their comeback.

According to the report, the album “ARIRANG” reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, while its lead single “Swim” debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100.

The album draws inspiration from the Korean folk song “Arirang,” widely regarded as a significant piece of Korean cultural heritage.

The world tour has been described as one of the largest undertaken by a K-pop act, with stops expected across multiple regions including Asia, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Australia.

The group last performed in the Philippines in 2017 at the Mall of Asia Arena, following earlier concerts in Manila in 2014 and 2016.

For Filipino fans, the 2027 Bulacan concerts mark a long-awaited return of BTS to the country after nearly a decade.
