K-pop sensation BTS graces Dallas with 2 coveted dates on 2020 tour
South Korean boy band BTS is embarking on a worldwide Map of the Soul Tour, and Dallas will be the location of one of the few concerts in North America. The group will play two dates at Cotton Bowl Stadium, May 9 and 10.
The tour is said to be "their biggest North American tour ever," but it will still only consist of nine cities, starting with two concerts in Santa Clara, California on April 25 and 26. Additional stops will include Los Angeles, Orlando, Atlanta, East Rutherford, New Jersey, Washington D.C., Toronto, and Chicago.
The tour follows last year’s massive BTS World Tour - 'Love Yourself: Speak Yourself,' which sold out six stadium shows in the U.S. in mere minutes. The band also came to Fort Worth for two dates in September 2018.
BTS has worked its way into the fabric of the American music industry, appearing at the 2019 Grammy Awards and on Saturday Night Live a couple months later. They were also named as one of the 100 most influential people of 2019 by Time magazine.
The Map of the Soul tour is in support of their forthcoming new album, Map of the Soul: 7, which will be released on February 21.
