K-pop sensation BTS announces details about European tour

The South Korean sensation BTS announced details about their upcoming European tour on Monday. The group starts their series of stadium concerts on July 3 in London, and then performs in Rotterdam, Berlin and Barcelona.

BTS, also known as the ‘Bangtan Boys’, is a seven-member South Korean boy band formed in Seoul in 2010. The septet co-writes and produces much of their output. Originally a hip hop group, their musical style has evolved to include a wide range of genres. Their lyrics, often focused on personal and social commentary, touch on the themes of mental health, troubles of school-age youth, loss, the journey towards loving oneself, and individualism. Their work features references to literature and psychological concepts and includes an alternative universe storyline. The group have staged several world tours.

The regular ticket sale for the Rotterdam concert starts on March 20. Members of the official fan club can buy tickets in advance on March 18.
