The scale of this tour is insane. 79 shows! Their management must have worked for years on this logistics. As a fan from Mumbai, I'll have to plan a trip to Bangkok or Singapore. The FOMO is real.
Respectfully, while I'm happy for BTS fans, I wish Indian artists got even a fraction of this global touring support and infrastructure. Our music and performers are world-class too.
The planning that must have gone into this, especially around their military service completion, is impressive. Good for them. Hope the ticket prices are reasonable for international fans.
April 2026 feels so far away! But it gives us time to save up. Already discussing with my college friends about making a group trip to the Kuala Lumpur show. The wait will be worth it!
This is a masterclass in global entertainment strategy. Covering 34 cities across all continents. As someone in the event industry, I'm taking notes. The economic impact for each host city will be huge.
