South Korean pop sensation BTS will perform two sold-out concerts in Toronto on 22 and 23 August 2026. Following their recent appearance at the FIFA World Cup 2026 final half-time show, the group returns to Toronto after more than a decade to perform on a 360-degree stage at North York's new outdoor venue, Rogers Stadium.
