Background[]
On January 21, 2020, BTS announced the first shows of their future world tour BTS Map of the Soul Tour, but that was eventually cancelled in August 2021 due to uncertainty stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The group organized Map Of The Soul ON:E, which initially included an offline fan presence and pay-per-view streaming, but in-person tickets were also cancelled ahead of the October 2020 performance.[2]
By 2021, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent restrictions varied greatly between countries and cities, which pushed the act and their company to look into hybridizing their performances in formats that would allow them to dynamically engage fans in person and online.[3]
On September 15, 2021, BTS announced an online concert carded for October 24 at the Seoul Olympic Stadium. Despite the venue's 80,000 person capacity, the show was held as a pay-per-view, streaming only event due to domestic live event restrictions.[4] Later that month, the band also announced four overseas concerts to be held in the United States at the newly built SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on November 27 and 28, and December 1 and 2, with the final show revealing on screen, "See you in Seoul, March 2022".[5] The announcement was also made on BTS' official Twitter account shortly after the show ended.[6]
On February 22, 2022, BTS then announced an expanded leg of the tour, with four shows taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 8–9, and April 15–16.[7] The shows marked the group's first live performance before an in-person audience since their BTS World Tour: Love Yourself: Speak Yourself in 2019, and tickets for all in-person shows were sold out within a few hours of release.[8] The concert tour garnered more than an estimated 4 million attendees in-person and online combined.[9]
