BTS concluded their sold out three night World Tour ‘ARIRANG’ concerts at Stanford Stadium on May 19. The group performed in front of nearly 50,000 fans each night, with audiences waving purple light sticks as fireworks and confetti filled the stadium during the final shows.
The concerts featured a mix of songs from BTS’ latest album along with several older tracks that brought back memories for longtime fans.
