BTS’s ARIRANG world tour is being shown in cinemas, and the confirmed live viewing dates are April 11 (Goyang) and April 18 (Tokyo).
The screenings ran in 75 countries and regions on more than 3,500 screens, so a seat in a theater is far easier to get than a ticket to the stadium.
This post covers which dates hit cinemas, how the times convert to your time zone, and what BigHit has not announced yet.

BTS ARIRANG cinema screening dates
The live viewings covered two shows: the April 11 Goyang date and the April 18 Tokyo Dome date, both screened live in cinemas worldwide.
In Korea the screenings ran at CGV, Lotte Cinema, and Megabox multiplexes.
Booking opened at 10 AM on March 25.
A third screening was listed for the June 13 Busan show, the group’s debut anniversary date.
On September 11, 2026, the Korea Times reported that BTS is bringing the ARIRANG tour to cinemas worldwide, but the details of that report were not confirmed in the sources checked for this post, so later-leg screening dates remain unannounced.
| April 11, 2026 | Goyang Sports Complex, Korea — 6:45 PM start |
|---|---|
| April 18, 2026 | Tokyo Dome, Japan — 2:45 PM live, 6:30 PM re-screening in Japan |
| June 13, 2026 | Busan Asiad Main Stadium, Korea — debut anniversary show |
Which countries and how far the reach goes
The live viewing reached 75 countries and regions on more than 3,500 screens, and the count was expected to grow.
That is more than double the number of cities on the tour itself, which runs 34 cities across roughly 85 shows.
For the 41 North America and Europe stadium shows alone, promoter Live Nation reported about 2.4 million tickets sold, and 46 shows had already sold out before the tour began.
The practical takeaway is simple: if a stadium ticket was out of reach, the cinema screening was designed to close that gap.
Some regions received a delayed broadcast instead of a live feed, because of time-zone differences.

Finding a showtime in your time zone
Official notices listed the same event times in KST, PT, MT, CT, and ET, which means the recurring question is the conversion.
The Goyang screening started at 6:45 PM Korea time on April 11, and the Tokyo screening went live at 2:45 PM KST on April 18, with a 6:30 PM re-screening in Japan.
A 2:45 PM KST start works out to 1:45 AM Eastern time, so viewers across the Americas typically saw a delayed broadcast instead.
In Korea, searching "BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG LIVE VIEWING" in the CGV, Lotte Cinema, or Megabox apps surfaced local listings, and cancellation tickets were worth checking close to the date.
Booking windows and prices varied by chain and country.
What is still unannounced
BigHit’s North America and Europe notice confirmed that remaining regions would be announced sequentially, with Japan, the Middle East, and further Asia legs expected per Herald coverage.
The Latin America and Asia legs for October to December 2026 include Bogota, Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Jakarta.
The tour runs through March 2027, so further cinema announcements are possible as later legs get closer.
What has not been published is the full list of the 75 countries, the per-chain cinema ticket prices, and whether any legs beyond Goyang, Tokyo, and Busan received live viewings.
Wrapping up
The ARIRANG cinema screenings turned a sold-out stadium tour into something anyone in 75 countries could watch locally.
The two confirmed live viewing dates were April 11 in Goyang and April 18 in Tokyo, with a Busan screening on June 13.
For new screening dates tied to later tour legs, the official Weverse notice is the first place to check.
This post’s numbers reflect coverage up to September 11, 2026, and the September announcement’s details should be re-checked against the original article before acting on them.
