Fans in Toronto are lining up in anticipation of BTS's sold-out concerts as part of their Arirang World Tour. The K-pop sensation is performing at Rogers Stadium on Saturday and Sunday. Fans were already waiting outside the venue on Friday morning, with some starting their journey as early as midnight. One fan told CityNews they have been waiting since midnight, while another fan came all the way from Saskatoon.

BTS is the only Canadian stop on their worldwide tour, which is why fans from across Canada have gathered in Toronto. The city has designated a section of Yonge Street as BTS Boulevard, and this sign will remain until September 23. Since 2022, BTS has been on hiatus as their members completed mandatory military service in South Korea.

Their last performance in Canada was in 2018, but they first performed in Toronto in 2015 at the Phoenix Concert Theatre.
