BTS played the third and final São Paulo concert of its ARIRANG World Tour run at MorumBIS on October 31, 2026, closing three sold-out nights in the city.
Key Takeaways
- BTS played 23 songs on October 31, opening with “Hooligan” and closing with “Into the Sun,” according to São Paulo FC.
- “Ddaeng” and “BTS Cypher Pt.3: Killer” were the two songs that did not appear in the earlier São Paulo sets.
- The show ran almost two and a half hours. Doors opened at 4 p.m. and the show began at 8 p.m. local time.
- All three São Paulo dates sold out, and the run was BTS’s first Brazil visit in seven years.
BTS São Paulo Night 3 Setlist
The São Paulo FC report on the closing night says the show had 23 songs and lasted almost two and a half hours. It opened with “Hooligan” and ended with “Into the Sun.” The first two nights were nearly identical, so the clearest way to read the three shows is through the songs that changed between them.
| Night | Date | Songs that changed |
|---|---|---|
| Night 1 | October 28 | Black Swan, Silver Spoon |
| Night 2 | October 30 | Airplane pt.2, I Need U |
| Night 3 | October 31 | Ddaeng, BTS Cypher Pt.3: Killer |
São Paulo FC reports that Friday’s show swapped “Black Swan” and “Silver Spoon” for “Airplane pt.2” and “I Need U,” and that Saturday added “Ddaeng” and “BTS Cypher Pt.3: Killer.” Both closing-night songs come from the group’s rap line material. We could not find a complete published Night 3 setlist beyond the opening, closing and changed songs, so this article does not list the rest of the set. The same rotating approach appeared earlier in the tour, as covered in the Santiago Night 3 setlist.
What Happened on the Other Two Nights
Night 1 on October 28 drew about 85,000 people, according to Itatiaia. The report says the members spoke Portuguese during the show, added the passinho do Jamal and the “ombrinho do Paquetá” dance moves to “Butter,” and performed the full choreography for “IDOL,” which Itatiaia says they had not done on this tour so far. During “Body to Body,” fans sang a Korean part inspired by “Arirang” while the members lowered their microphones to let the crowd lead.
Night 2 on October 30 drew more than 80,000 people, per Brazilian press cited by Indy. Near the end, during “Please,” fans lit the stadium in the colors of Brazil. That show was also streamed live to cinemas in 88 countries, and further screenings were announced for November and December.
Stage Design and Show Length at MorumBIS
The tour uses a 360-degree stage. Bandwagon describes a central pavilion that draws on the traditional Korean jeongja and Gyeonghoeru Pavilion at Gyeongbokgung Palace, floor visuals inspired by the Taegeukgi, and extended runways laid out around the four trigrams. Rio Times reports that some fans complained that the South American leg uses four video screens instead of twelve, and that Live Nation said São Paulo follows the same format as every South American date. Itatiaia also reported that one screen reportedly stopped working during Night 1.
Three Sold-Out Nights After Seven Years
BTS played São Paulo on October 28, 30 and 31. According to Rio Times, the group last played Brazil on May 25 and 26, 2019, at Allianz Parque, about seven years earlier. São Paulo FC counts the October run as the group’s fifth visit to Brazil, all in São Paulo, and the 253rd event at MorumBIS. Bandwagon reports that more than 1.9 million people accessed the ticketing system, with estimated demand above 3.7 million tickets for the three shows.
For fans outside Brazil, the October 30 concert was shown in cinemas as “BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ in Buenos Aires and São Paulo: Live Viewing,” distributed by Trafalgar Releasing, according to Rio Times. The Americas received the live feed on October 30 and the rest of the world on October 31. For more tour context, see the Lima Night 2 setlist coverage.
Editor’s Take
Our reading: the sources agree on the shape of the run. Three nights were nearly the same show, and the two-song rotating slot is where they differ. That makes a three-night run easier to follow song by song than as a single event. What the sources do not give us is a full Night 3 setlist, so we have kept this article to the details that were reported.
