BTS' London Shows Draw 130,000 Fans as HYBE Posts Record Quarter
BTS' European comeback tour made Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London its centerpiece stop, with three shows drawing a combined 130,000 fans. Organizers paired the run with cultural "takeover" activities to deepen fan engagement. Parent company HYBE is reported to have posted record quarterly earnings, with tour revenue cited as a major driver.
Tour Highlights and Earnings
The London stop was held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which holds roughly 60,000 people and ranks among the UK's largest concert venues. The three shows' combined 130,000 attendance signals BTS' continued pull with the full group back on stage.
HYBE has not yet released full details of its Q2 figures, but according to IQ Magazine's weekly report, the quarter marked the company's best performance on record, with European tour revenue a significant contributor.
Global Non-English Touring Momentum
Around the same period, Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny wrapped his DMTF tour in Brussels, closing out what's being called the highest-grossing non-US tour route in history. IQ Magazine's report used this as a jumping-off point to discuss the growing commercial potential of multilingual acts in stadium-scale touring worldwide.
The report also touched on public-private cooperation in Asia's live events industry and early details on the Fanomenon event, though organizers have not yet disclosed full information on either.
