BTS is four years removed from their last run of group performances, and fans are making up for lost time. The band launched the ARIRANG World Tour on April 9, 2026, at Goyang Stadium in Goyang-si, South Korea, in support of their Billboard 200 number one album ARIRANG. The tour spans 85 dates across 34 cities.
Each night, the band performs a main set of 16 songs followed by an encore of seven tracks. Two of those encore slots change every night, giving each crowd a different experience. According to Billboard, the surprise songs have ranged from Hot 100 charting hits like Take Two to tracks nearly a decade old, including Crystal Snow, which the band had not played live in years.
The opening night on April 9 featured Mikrokosmos and I NEED U. The second Goyang show on April 11 brought DNA, which peaked at number 67 on the Hot 100 in October 2017, and Take Two. RUN and Spring Day followed on April 12.
When BTS moved to Tokyo Dome, they played Save ME and Crystal Snow on April 17, then Dope and For You on April 18. Both Crystal Snow and several other selections represent songs that had gone unperformed live for close to a decade.
Fans have taken to tracking which songs have appeared and which remain unplayed, building lists online as the tour moves through cities. Billboard has been compiling and updating the full list of surprise songs in collaboration with setlist.fm.
The band's setlist structure, with its rotating surprise slots, creates a different concert for each night of the tour. For a fan base that went four years without a group performance, the unpredictability appears to be part of the appeal.
The ARIRANG World Tour is ongoing, and Billboard will continue updating the surprise song list as new dates are played.
