- Saturday's second performance coincides with the band's 13th debut anniversary and will be broadcast to about 3,800 movie theaters across more than 80 countries before the tour continues to Madrid on June 26.
- With all members returned from mandatory military service, this year's 'BTS FESTA' celebration takes the form of a stadium concert, reuniting the group with its global fanbase, known as ARMY.
