What Changed on BTS Santiago Night 3
BTS ended its three-night run at Estadio Nacional on October 17 with a different surprise-song pairing than earlier shows. The group selected “JUMP” and “Spine Breaker” as the night’s two rotating picks, according to Cooperativa.cl. Both songs also reappeared later in the final encore, so Santiago fans heard each track twice across the night.
“Spine Breaker” carried a specific connection to the city. BTS performed the song while wearing traditional Chilean huaso clothing, including wide-brimmed chupallas, turning a tour-wide rotating pick into a Santiago-specific costume moment.
Full 24-Song Santiago Setlist
The October 17 concert began near 8:05 p.m. local time and closed around 10:25 p.m., containing 24 numbered song performances in total, based on setlist.fm’s log of the show. Ticketmaster Chile listed the concert’s official start time as 8:00 p.m. ahead of the event.
Within that 24-song run, three segments are confirmed in detail: a technical restart during “2.0,” 12 tracks drawn from the ARIRANG album, and a seven-song final encore.
| Segment | Songs |
|---|---|
| Rotating surprise songs | JUMP, Spine Breaker |
| Interrupted / restarted performance | 2.0 (stopped), NORMAL, 2.0 (repeated) |
| Final encore | Come Over, Butter, Dynamite, JUMP, Spine Breaker, Please, Into the Sun |
The “2.0” Restart
A stage malfunction interrupted “2.0” during the show, according to Ticketmaster MX. BTS moved to the center stage to continue the performance. After finishing “NORMAL,” the group went back and performed “2.0” again from the start, giving the song two separate appearances in the set.
How Much of ARIRANG Was Performed
The Santiago finale included 12 of the 14 tracks on the ARIRANG studio album, per a comparison with the album’s Spotify track list. Two album tracks were not part of the set: “No. 29” and “One More Night.” This means the show covered most of the album while leaving out two specific songs rather than dropping the album segment entirely.
Chile-Specific Stage Moments
Beyond the huaso outfits and chupallas worn during “Spine Breaker,” BTS used local Spanish phrases on stage and the Santiago crowd sang “Arirang” during the concert, according to Cooperativa.cl’s coverage of the final show. These elements were tied specifically to the Chile dates rather than general tour staging. Readers can compare this stop with the group’s four-song ARIRANG showcase at iHeartRadio or the rotating encore pattern from the Lima shows earlier on the tour.
Where BTS Goes After Santiago
Update, Oct. 22: the first Buenos Aires date, Oct. 21, has now passed; the schedule below is unchanged.
The ARIRANG tour continues into Latin America before moving to Asia. Buenos Aires fans get three dates at Estadio Único de La Plata, followed by three São Paulo shows at Estádio do MorumBIS.
| City | Venue | Dates |
|---|---|---|
| Buenos Aires (La Plata) | Estadio Único de La Plata | October 21, 23, 24, 2026 |
| São Paulo | Estádio do MorumBIS | October 28, 30, 31, 2026 |
| Kaohsiung | Stadium TBA | Part of Asian leg, per BIGHIT MUSIC |
| Bangkok | Rajamangala National Stadium | December 3, 5, 6, 2026 |
| Kuala Lumpur | TM Stadium Nasional | December 12, 13, 2026 |
| Singapore | National Stadium | December 17, 19, 20, 22, 2026 |
| Jakarta | Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium | December 26, 27, 2026 |
| Bulacan | Philippine Sports Stadium | March 13, 14, 2027 |
After São Paulo, the tour crosses to Asian stadiums, beginning with Kaohsiung and continuing through Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta and Bulacan, according to BIGHIT MUSIC’s published tour page.
Our reading: the Santiago setlist shows the rotating-song slots are doing real work on this tour. With 12 of 14 ARIRANG tracks in the Night 3 set and only two surprise slots left open, small choices like “Spine Breaker” paired with huaso costuming carry more weight than a standard deep cut would on a tour with a fixed album block.
