K-pop supergroup BTS drew about 190,000 fans over three days as it kicked off the North American leg of its "Arirang" world tour in Tampa, Florida, the group's agency said Wednesday.
The group performed at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday (local time) as part of the North American leg, delivering tracks from its latest studio album, "Arirang," and past hits, such as "MIC Drop" and "Fake Love," BigHit Music said.
BTS began the world tour with three-night concerts in the Korean city of Goyang earlier this month. The tour spans a total of 85 shows across 34 cities, making it the largest tour ever undertaken by a K-pop artist.
After Tampa, the seven-member group will continue the tour on May 2–3 at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Texas, becoming the first Korean act to hold a concert at the venue.
The North American leg involves 31 shows across 12 cities, including Mexico City, Stanford and Las Vegas, with all dates sold out, according to the agency.
