Update, Nov 1: This story was written before the show. The final São Paulo night was scheduled for October 31 at 8 p.m. São Paulo time (8 a.m. November 1 KST). We haven’t seen an official post-show statement from BTS or HYBE yet, so the details below are as announced before the show.
BTS played their third and last night at Estádio do MorumBIS in São Paulo on Saturday, October 31. It was the final date on the Latin America schedule of BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’. That run started in Bogotá on October 2 and went through Lima and Santiago. Here’s what the official ticket seller confirmed, when the show started around the world, and a milestone for j-hope from the same day.
What’s confirmed
- Shows: BTS at Estádio do MorumBIS, São Paulo, on October 28, 30 and 31, 2026. All three dates are marked sold out (esgotado). Ticketmaster Brazil: BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’
- October 31 times: gates open at 4 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m., São Paulo time. Ticketmaster Brazil: October 31 show
- The Latin America run: Bogotá (October 2–3), Lima (October 7, 9 and 10), Santiago (October 14, 16 and 17) and São Paulo (October 28, 30 and 31). São Paulo is the last city on that list.
- The album: Ticketmaster’s tour page describes ARIRANG as BTS’s fifth studio album, released on March 20, 2026.

What time was the show where you are?
The 8 p.m. start was Brazil time (BRT, UTC−3). Here’s the same moment elsewhere:
| Where | Show start |
|---|---|
| São Paulo | Sat, Oct 31, 8:00 p.m. |
| New York (EDT) | Sat, Oct 31, 7:00 p.m. |
| Los Angeles (PDT) | Sat, Oct 31, 4:00 p.m. |
| London (GMT) | Sat, Oct 31, 11:00 p.m. |
| Manila | Sun, Nov 1, 7:00 a.m. |
| Seoul (KST) | Sun, Nov 1, 8:00 a.m. |
Our take: in Asia, this was a Sunday-morning show, so clips and fan posts arrived around breakfast time.
How big is a MorumBIS night?
Ticketmaster’s October 31 page lists each section’s capacity. Added together, that’s 84,458 places for the night:
| Section | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Pista (floor) | 26,400 |
| Soundcheck VIP package (floor) | 3,100 |
| Arquibancada (stands) | 36,899 |
| Cadeira Superior (upper seats) | 14,254 |
| Cadeira Inferior (lower seats) | 3,805 |
This is the listed capacity, not a confirmed attendance figure. Nobody official has published one for São Paulo yet.
Entry rules for the October 31 show
- Age rule: the show was rated 16+. Children aged 5 to 15 need a parent or legal guardian, or an adult carrying a signed written authorization with ID copies, as set out on the ticket page.
- One entry only: each ticket allowed a single entry. Fans who left the stadium couldn’t go back in.
- Box office: on show days, Gate 2 (Praça Roberto Gomes Pedrosa) and Gate 15 (Av. Giovanni Gronchi, 1866) opened from 10 a.m. until the show started. They didn’t sell new tickets. They only handled the half-price (meia-entrada) top-up for that day.
- Tickets: online tickets were digital only, and the show was sold out.
What we don’t know yet
We didn’t see an official announcement of a livestream for the São Paulo shows, or a set list. We also can’t tell you yet what happened on the night. If you see a clip labeled “last night in São Paulo,” check the upload date. BTS also played on October 28 and 30.
Also on October 31: j-hope’s MONA LISA passes 100 million views
j-hope’s MONA LISA official MV passed 100 million views on YouTube. When we checked HYBE LABELS’ upload at 5:20 p.m. KST on October 31, the count was 100,048,873. The video went up on March 21, 2025 (KST).
