BTS performed at the iHeartRadio Music Festival after 6 years

After a six-year hiatus, BTS made a triumphant return to the iHeartRadio Music Festival at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on September 18, 2026. Closing out the festival’s opening night as the final act, the group delivered a high-impact, cinematic four-song set centered around the theme of “BTS 2.0,” symbolizing their growth, liberation, and current chapter following military service.

The performance opened with “Swim” from their fifth studio album, Arirang, featuring immersive water-tank visuals, followed by “2.0,” a high-energy track utilizing vertical stage designs against a Las Vegas skyline backdrop. The set transitioned into their classic 2017 hit “Mic Drop” and concluded with “FYA,” which ended with fiery comet-impact special effects. Throughout the event, members RM and J-Hope expressed deep gratitude to their fans, highlighting how incredible it feels to hear ARMY singing along to every Korean lyric even after 14 years. Fellow labelmates Le Sserafim also performed on the second night, marking a historic back-to-back weekend presence for HYBE acts in Las Vegas.
