BTS has come back to the stage after a two-year hiatus, and their performances in Los Angeles confirmed that their fans were eagerly anticipating their comeback. The K-pop group played four nights in a row at LA’s SoFi Stadium, generating nearly $33.3 million, according to Billboard.
Over 214,000 tickets were sold during the band’s concert. The SoFi Stadium events are now the highest-grossing since facilities reopened initially this year, according to the numbers and BTS’ performance videos went popular on social media and where the popular Megan Thee Stallion performed ‘Butter’ with the band.
Their leader, RM, delivered a heartfelt speech on the first day of the event, thanking ARMY. ‘Thank you for this historical night. I thought that I was going to miss this moment in my forties, sixties. You guys are the proof of our existence, our leave. You guys are our proof! We are now truly bulletproof,’ said RM.

Justin Bieber performs during the F1 race in Saudi Arabia
Justin Bieber appeared in front of a sold-out audience in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, delivering some of his biggest hits to adoring fans. But Saudi’s human rights organizations and activists called on the singer to postpone his performance on Sunday night in protest of the kingdom’s arrests and assault on critics.
Justin Beiber’s wife, Hailey Baldwin Beiber also went to Saudi Arabia to show her support. She even posted a video on her Instagram story of the superstar performing on stage and added ‘Go Baby’ in encouragement. As a starting act singer-songwriter, Jason Derulo appeared and sang while being accompanied by female dancers wearing loose baggy shirts and sweatpants. There are tons of videos and pictures for the concert online that showed Justin wearing a red hockey jersey by Balenciaga as he sings hits at the top of his lungs.
His concert became one of the most attended concerts in the country which surprised people because years before this would have been prohibited since the county tries to keep their society conserved. They used to treat concerts as unlawful and would even separate men and women in public places.
Justin Bieber has remained silent on the public outcry about his performance and requests for him to postpone it. Weeks before his performance in Saudi Arabia, the fiancée of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi joined several voices pressuring him not to perform at the kingdom’s Formula One race. Justin Bieber was one of the most well-known performances at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, which was won by Lewis Hamilton before the final race of the Formula One season.
Hatice Cengiz had encouraged Justin Bieber to cancel his performance in an open statement written by The Washington Post, urging him to ‘send a powerful message to the world that your name and talent will not be used to restore the reputation of a regime that kills its critics.’ She states that choices like this, to host the F1 race and invite a celebrity as Justine Bieber ‘comes directly’ from the prince.
Even though he was advised not to perform, he did so for the sole goal of pleasing his adoring fans. But Justin Bieber wasn’t the only one who continued to perform despite the interruptions; Mariah Carey did the same in 2019.
Justin Bieber’s performance in Saudi Arabia came just a few months before he begins heading on a world tour next year. Live Nation, the business that owns Ticketmaster, is promoting the tour. With a $1.4 billion interest in Live Nation, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned sovereign wealth fund, led by Prince Mohammed, is one of the largest institutional investors.
