BTS has reportedly reached another major touring milestone, with the group’s latest world tour taking the No. 1 spot in global tour revenue for the measured period and surpassing the revenue recorded by Beyoncé’s highly successful 2025 tour.
According to concert industry publication Pollstar, ticket sales data covering November 13, 2025, through August 12, 2026, showed that BTS’ BTS World Tour ARIRANG generated approximately $465.8 million in ticket revenue.
The tour, which began in April, attracted around 2.31 million fans across 38 shows during the reporting period, giving BTS the highest tour revenue worldwide in Pollstar’s latest cumulative figures.
The total also surpassed the approximately $407.6 million earned by Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour, which Pollstar previously listed as the highest-grossing tour of 2025.
Pollstar highlighted the strong demand surrounding BTS’ concerts and noted that the tour is still ongoing, meaning its final numbers could continue to increase.
Las Vegas was reportedly the biggest market for BTS during the measured period. The group held four concerts at Allegiant Stadium in May, drawing a combined audience of 245,691 people and generating around $66.6 million in ticket sales.
BTS is also preparing to continue BTS World Tour ARIRANG in South America beginning October 2 in Bogotá, Colombia. The group is scheduled to visit Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo, with additional shows added in several cities following strong demand.
Alongside the tour’s commercial performance, BTS continues to maintain a presence on Billboard’s global charts. Their fifth full-length album, ARIRANG, ranked No. 30 on the Billboard 200 dated September 26, extending its run on the chart to 26 consecutive weeks.
The album’s title track, SWIM, also remained strong globally, reaching No. 5 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and No. 21 on the Billboard Global 200.
