Surprise Songs by City

BTS plays 2 surprise songs every night on the ARIRANG World Tour — and the picks change each show. Fan favorites like Dionysus, Silver Spoon (Baepsae/뱁새), Spring Day, and Crystal Snow have already appeared. Tracks from the ARIRANG album and deep cuts from earlier eras are both in rotation. This is why ARMY attending multiple nights get a completely unique experience each time. Check back after every concert — we update this table within 24 hours of each show.

What This Means for Your Travel Plans

Key travel considerations based on the setlist:

Late finish time. Shows end around 10–11 PM. In cities like Tokyo, Singapore, and Bangkok, this is after the last train. Check our city guides for taxi estimates and night bus options.

360-degree stage. There are no bad seats. If you're budgeting, upper-level tickets still deliver a full experience.

ARMY Bomb lightstick. It syncs with the show — if you don't have one, you can often buy one at the venue merchandise booth. Arrive early — they sell out.

Multi-show planning. Two surprise songs per night mean dedicated fans attend multiple shows. Our multi-city travel guides can help you plan a concert road trip.
