BTS, arguably the most popular music act in the world, has announced a stadium tour that includes two Bay Area dates.
The phenomenally successful K-pop act performs April 25-26 at the San Francisco 49ers’ Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
More than 100,000 tickets are expected to be sold for these two dates.
Show times are 7:30 p.m. April 25 and 7 p.m. April 26.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 3 p.m. Feb. 7. There is also a pre-sale opportunity for fans. For more information on tickets sales (both general and pre-sale), visit ticketmaster.com.

These shows will be the band’s first concerts in the Bay Area since it’s sold-out show in September 2018 at Oakland Arena. (Read our review of that show here.)
The seven-member South Korean boy band — featuring Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook — announced the tour on Tuesday, Jan. 21, via social media.
The band will be promoting “Map of the Soul: 7,” the band’s forthcoming seventh studio album that is due out Feb. 21. It is the follow up to 2019’s “Map of the Soul: Persona.”
Since forming in 2013, BTS has attracted a massive — and massively dedicated — worldwide audience that seems second to none. This tour is certainly a testament to that. It’s extremely rare for an initial artist on-sale to include multiple nights at a stadium in the Bay Area. Usually promoters prefer to just announce a single night first and, if demand and ticket sales warrant, add another date later.
But those rules don’t apply to BTS. And there’s little doubt that promoters are feeling very confident that BTS will pack Levi’s for both nights.
Besides being a huge concert attraction, the group has a massive social media following and had 2019’s most viewed video on YouTube.
