Hopefully ARMY likes surprises, because BTS is bringing new ones to its fan base every night.
It’s been four years since BTS’ last performances as a group, and fans have been left hungry. Now that the band has hit the road with their ARIRANG World Tour, supporting their Billboard 200 No. 1 album ARIRANG, they’re making sure that fans are fed.
Since kicking off the tour April 9 at Goyang Stadium in Goyang-si, South Korea, BTS has performed surprise songs during every show’s encore. The band’s already-packed setlist features 16 songs during the main performance and seven encore tracks, two of which change nightly. The surprise songs run the gamut of BTS’ career, ranging from Billboard Hot 100 hits like “Take Two” to 10-year-old singles like “I NEED U.” The band has even performed a few tracks it has not played in almost a decade, including “Crystal Snow,” on the ARIRANG World Tour.
Fans are of course ecstatic about the possibility of hearing a BTS track performed live for the first time. Some online have even begun keeping track of every surprise song the band has played and which they have yet to.
Below, Billboard, with the help of setlist.fm, has compiled a list of all the surprise songs BTS has brought to the ARIRANG World Tour thus far. As BTS continue on their 85-date, 34-city world tour, Billboard will continue to update this list with each new surprise track the band plays.
