Tickets for the second date go on sale on March 8
BTS have added another Wembley Stadium date after the first concert sold out in just 90 minutes.
The popular K-pop band announced their return to the UK this summer recently, with details of a huge show at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 1. Due to popular demand, the group will now also play the stadium on June 2.
Sky News reports that the additional date comes comes days after ticket agencies were slammed for re-selling tickets to the first date for thousands of pounds.
BTS – comprised of Jimin, V, RM, J-Hope, Jungkook, Suga and Jin – performed two shows at the capital’s O2 Arena last year in support of their sixth album, ‘Love Yourself: Tear’. Reviewing the band’s New York stop-off, NME hailed the concert as “a dazzling and inclusive stadium spectacular”.

Not shocked at all. With 10 days notice, @BTS_twt has sold out both Wembley and Stade De France. Cue all of the confused UK & French media in a rush to educate themselves on BTS! #BTSxParis #BTSxWembley
