BTS To Hold Four Concerts At Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium

Global sensation BTS will be holding four concerts in Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium in November and December, the group’s management label has announced.

Dubbed “BTS Permission To Dance On Stage – LA,” the concerts will be held on Nov. 27 and 28 and on Dec. 1 and 2. The shows will mark the first time the boy band will perform live for an in-person audience since 2019’s BTS World Tour, “Love Yourself: Speak Yourself.”

Big Hit Music made the announcement through BTS’ official Weverse account saying that the decision to hold the concert in SoFi stadium was determined after studying the health and safety guidelines for the performers, fans and staff of the event.

Here is the English transcript of the official announcement of BigHit Music as shared by Koreaboo.

"Hello. This is BigHit Music. The “ BTS Permission To Dance On Stage” in-person (offline) concert will be held in LA, US. Holding an in-person concert in the midst of Covid-19 is not easy, but after looking for opportunities to do so, we are able to hold the concert in the United States after taking the national and regional health regulations and circumstances into consideration. This concert will be the first time ever for BTS and ARMY to meet face to face since the 2019 “BTS World Tour Love Yourself: Speak Yourself The Final .”

In the statement, Big Hit Music also vowed to do its best to organize more in-person concerts for Korean and international fans of BTS in the future.

A teaser poster of the BTS concert was also tweeted by the label.
