BTS Jokingly Claim Credit for England World Cup Win at London Show

On July 6, 2026, BTS returned to the UK for their first performance in seven years at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during their Arirang tour. The band humorously claimed responsibility for England's earlier 3-2 World Cup win against Mexico, with RM stating, "We always bring the luck to every place we play." Attracting a record audience of 65,000, the concert marked the highest attendance at the venue, featuring a unique 360-degree stage inspired by Seoul's Gyeonghoeru Pavilion. The setlist highlighted their comeback album, Arirang, which topped charts in 26 countries. This extensive tour includes 88 shows across 23 nations and is expected to compete with Taylor Swift's $2bn Eras tour. BTS last graced the UK in 2019 at Wembley Stadium, making history as the first South Korean group to headline there. The performance showcased a medley of popular songs, surprise tracks, and concluded with "Into the Sun."
