Stade de France is in **Saint-Denis**, north of Paris.

The ARIRANG tour setlist combines tracks from the new album with classics from BTS's full catalogue.

The exact running order is not published ahead of each night. Sources: Sortiraparis.

Tickets for the BTS Stade de France 2026 shows started from **€78.50** for the most affordable category. Official sales ran via Ticketmaster France and FNAC Spectacles. Standard-tier tickets are sold out; limited resale options may be available through official resale channels on those platforms. Sources: Ticketmaster, FNAC Spectacles.

The ARIRANG World Tour uses a **360-degree in-the-round stage**, the main stage is placed at the centre of the stadium floor, with a runway extending into the crowd, so fans on all sides of the arena are part of the show. The concept is inspired by landmark stadium tours such as U2's 360° Tour and Coldplay's Music of the Spheres tour. It is one of the most logistically complex staging setups in live music.
