One night down, one to go. BTS are currently in London for the UK leg of their ARIRANG World Tour – and the final show is tonight (July 7).
Prior to this week, it had been seven long years since BTS last tore up a London stage. Absence clearly made the heart grow even fonder: when London dates were announced for the ARIRANG World Tour, ARMY did what they do best and sold out both days in just 30 minutes.
RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are in the capital for two nights on July 6 and 7. But this isn’t just a concert – London is getting a full-blown takeover. BTS are bringing their massive ‘BTS THE CITY’ project to LDN, transforming the capital into a week-long fan festival. We’re talking the London Eye ditching its usual look to glow ARIRANG red and K-pop party boats cruising down the Thames.
If you’re heading up the Victoria line to watch BTS take Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight, here’s everything you need to know.

Last-minute BTS tickets in London
BTS in London is sold out. You can still try to bag tickets, but it might require a bit of searching. There are still resale tickets available on sites such as Viagogo and Stubhub.
What’s the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’s bag policy?
Gig-goers heading to N17 are strongly encouraged not to bring bags at all to ensure a faster entry. However, if you must bring one, the stadium operates a highly restricted bag policy. Any personal bag must be smaller than A4 size (maximum 21cm x 30cm).
If your bag is deemed too big by security, you can purchase a reusable drawstring ‘bag for life’ at the venue for £1. Alternatively, you will have to check your oversized items into a paid external bag drop facility outside the stadium, though lines get very, very long. Be prepared for thorough searches and queues.
Banned items
The following items are strictly prohibited inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:
- Bags exceeding the A4 limit (including rucksacks, backpacks, and large handbags)
- Bottles of any kind, glass vessels, cans, and flasks
- Outside food and liquids of any kind (including water and alcohol, though free water fountains are available inside)
- Large umbrellas (anything exceeding 1m in size, and small ones must remain folded inside)
- Professional cameras, video gear, audio recording devices, long detachable lenses, and GoPros
- Selfie sticks, monopods, and tripods
- Flares, smoke canisters, fireworks, explosives, or ammunition
- Air horns, klaxons, lasers, whistles, or unlicensed musical instruments
- Flags, posters, or banners larger than A3 size, or any with vulgar or offensive slogans
- Flagpoles greater than 1m in length
- Spray paint and large industrial-style permanent marker pens
- Scooters, skateboards, rollerblades, or bicycle helmets
- High-visibility clothing
- Pets or animals (with the exception of registered service and assistance dogs)
- Weapons, knives, blades, or dangerous hazardous items
- Illegal substances and narcotics
Getting to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
In short, don’t drive. The entire area around the Spurs stadium operates a strict Controlled Parking Zone on event days and roads directly around the venue are closed completely to traffic.
The stadium is highly accessible via public transit and you have four main station options depending on where you are coming from:
- White Hart Lane (Overground): The closest station. It is a direct 5-minute walk to the stadium. Trains run frequently from Liverpool Street. Be warned of queues after the event – it’s often easier to walk to the Victoria line.
- Northumberland Park (Greater Anglia): A flat, straightforward 10-minute walk to the east of the ground. Ideal if you are arriving from Liverpool Street or Stratford.
- Tottenham Hale (Victoria Line & Greater Anglia): About a 25-minute walk, or you can hop on one of the high frequency event shuttle buses straight to the stadium.
- Seven Sisters (Victoria Line & Overground): Roughly a 30-minute walk along the high road. It is a great option if you want to grab a drink or food on the way down.
Weather forecast
Here’s the weather forecast for each day of BTS at Spurs.
- Monday July 6 – Highs of 30C, lows of 18C. There’s lots of sunshine with a gentle breeze (9 mph). Slap on the SPF because London is officially entering a major summer heatwave.
- Tuesday July 7 – Highs of 32C, lows of 19C. Scorching and sunny all day with a moderate 13 mph breeze. It’s going to be absolute peak swelter inside the stadium, so stay hydrated.
‘BTS THE CITY’ in London
