BigHit Music announced on October 7, 2026, that prior to BTS’s first concert in Peru, a street in the capital city of Lima will temporarily be named "Avenida BTS (BTS Avenue)" for a week.

The Santiago de Surco district in Lima has decided to refer to Sacramento Street as "BTS Avenue" from October 5 to October 11 and has recently installed a sign to commemorate this occasion.

BTS will hold their "BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN LIMA" concerts at Estadio San Marcos in Lima on October 7, 9, and 10 (local time). This will be the group's first performance in Peru since their debut in 2013.

Leading up to the concerts, related events are also taking place at major tourist sites in Lima. The Arco Morisco in Surco’s Friendship Park was illuminated in purple on October 5 and, through October 11, hosts a daily light show themed around BTS.

During the same period, the "Fountain of Fantasy" in the Circuito Magico del Agua, a fountain park, will feature events utilizing BTS’s music, special lighting, and a water screen display.

Peru’s official tourism website, Peru Travel, has also highlighted BTS’s Lima concert. The site noted the possibility that foreign visitors coming to Peru for the concert might travel to attractions in other areas such as Paracas and Machu Picchu, and promoted the country’s local cuisine, culture, and natural scenery as well.

Before performing in Lima, BTS held a South American tour concert at Estadio El Campin in Bogotá, Colombia, on October 2 and 3, attracting approximately 100,000 audience members over two days.

Rolling Stone en Español, the Spanish-language version of Rolling Stone, described the Bogotá concert as "the most highly anticipated concert of an entire generation," listing it as one of the major cultural events held in Colombia this year. The magazine went on to say, "BTS exceeded expectations on several occasions and truly delivered more than what fans had hoped for."
