As BTS’ ARIRANG Tour Heads to Brazil, Live Nation Faces Probe Over South America Stage Changes

Brazil’s consumer protection agency, Senacon, has issued a request for answers to Live Nation regarding changes to the stage setup for BTS’ ARIRANG world tour in South America. Specifically, Senacon is inquiring into the reduced number of stage screens, from 12 to just four, for the final three shows in São Paulo, Brazil. This comes as fans on social media have expressed concerns about the stage configuration.

Senacon’s Secretary of Consumer Affairs, Ricardo Morishita, highlighted the need for transparency in ticket sales and information provided to consumers, citing consumer law. Live Nation Brasil stated that the stage setup is "exactly as shown on the official event map published when ticket sales opened in April 2026," including four LED screens integrated into the central tower for a 360-degree view.

The company attributes the change to logistical and scheduling constraints to accommodate the tour across the region. HYBE, BTS’ management company, has not yet responded to requests for comment.
