Does bad bunny do stadiums?

Paul McCartney, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, U2

In Asia, I only BTS for now.

Quote from paradis

Taylor Swift, Coldplay and Ed Sheeran are the only ones I can think of. Even Justin finds it difficult to sell out stadiums lately in US.

I do not think Adele and Beyonce have the pull in Asia to sellout stadiums though they do in the west. Correct me if I am wrong with factual data.

Taylor ain’t selling out a stadium in Japan. Her presence on Japan’s charts are nonexistent. It’s the same for most of these western acts. They are very closed off from the Japanese market

I can see Taylor selling out a stadium in Philippines or Malaysia. I mean Billie Eilish recently did although her organizers were bad at arranging the stage

Iron Maiden and Metallica may not do stadiums in Asia, but they do in North America, South America, Europe and Oceania.

BTS can sell a stadium in Africa. We made UMG Africa have a backlog on proof preorders. Till now some of us are still receiving their albums they preordered in May

Also the customer care line promised to do better on the next BTS release because the demand was overwhelming. They were just planning on doing 100k orders but we proved them wrong so fast

Quote from tetetete

i cant think of any...most are arena level in asia

someone from SEA region or japan would have a better idea but japan doesn't do stadiums afaik

i can see a beyonce performance in nagoya but it seems to be 10k attendance

Japan does stadiums. So far tvxq was the only group to sell out. BTS Mots7 tour I believed would have been BTS first Japan stadium date. But covid happened unfortunately

Tokyo Dome is a stadium and TWICE has done it. It's the Nissan Stadium that only TVXQ has done.

How about Justin Bieber? He sold some big venues all over the world for purpose world tour.

domes are stadiums the only difference is that stadiums are open aka no roof while domes have similar capacity but have a roof lol

If so then BTS already sold out Tokyo Dome too

She's a big name in Japan it's been more than 10 years. And she already sold out stadiums in Japan during 1989 tour, as said previously. Her presence in Asia in general is strong (China, SEA, Japan mostly).

She's bigger in Asia than she is in Europe, for example. By a considerable marge.

Quote from paradis

Honestly I do not see Paul selling out a stadium in all of Asia either. Only see U2 and Guns and Roses selling out in let's say South Asia or SEA.

But why are you guys cherry-picking Asia? Should we also disqualify BTS for not selling out stadiums in all of Europe, South America and Oceania? Or maybe disqualify everyone for not selling out stadiums in Africa?

Quote from paradis

Globally does include Asia. BTS have sold out stadiums in Europe in their last tour. So how is it cherrypicking? Asia clearly is not just Japan, it includes other heavily populated regions too like SEA and South Asia.

And Europe isn't only UK and France. And South America isn't only São Paulo. And globally includes Oceania.

Twice sold out a stadium in America already

Quote from paradis

A tour that never was, despite tickets being soldout. They had to cancel this due to covid

BTS’s 2020 North American Stadium Tour Produces Several Sellouts In First Weekend

BTS will embark on the Map of the Soul Tour in April, hitting stadiums across South Korea, North America, Europe and Japan. Fifteen of those dates include stadiums in the United States and Canada, marking their most ambitious North American trek to date. And lest anybody question the South Korean septet’s incredible concert draw in North America, half of those dates sold out during their first weekend on sale.

Tickets for the North American leg of the Map of the Soul Tour went on sale for the general public on Friday. As of Monday afternoon, seven of the 15 shows have sold out, including stops in Dallas, Atlanta, Toronto, Chicago; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Santa Clara, California; and Pasadena, California. (The Atlanta show has Verified Resale tickets available through Ticketmaster, but the other dates are completely sold out.) Several other dates—including Orlando, Florida and alternate nights in both Pasadena and Chicago—only have a few hundred tickets left in the nosebleed sections.

These sellouts and near-sellouts are hardly a surprise given BTS’s live track record. The pop superstars became the highest-grossing touring group of 2019, beating acts like the Rolling Stones, Metallica and KISS. They earned over $196 million and played to more than 1.6 million people across 42 shows on the Love Yourself World Tour and its Love Yourself: Speak Yourself Tour extension.

With every tour, BTS reaffirm their status as one of the top-drawing live acts in North America. Many Western pop stars struggle to pack stadiums, let alone sell them out almost immediately. BTS’s ability to do so repeatedly puts them in the same class of pop royalty as Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, as well as classic rock behemoths like Paul McCartney and Billy Joel.

BTS will release their new album, Map of the Soul: 7, on Feb. 21. With a reported 4 million global preorders and excitement growing every day, it seems like BTS are well on their way to another No. 1 album and more stadium sellouts.

This was supposed to be their last tour before solo era...

At least in K-O-R-E-A a 1,343 years old can sell a stadium too.

I think only Metallica and GnR can do stadium here in Malaysia. Taylor Swift, Justin, for sure. Not sure about Adele and Beyoncé too.

I think BTS is the act that can easily do the most stops in asia in different countries, but asia does not the whole world make either so.

The unfortunate reality is that big touring acts will go where the money is, and the only country in asia that have been able to rival the west is Japan, even if its slowly changing, its still the case today.

Just looking at that planned tour list for BTS you can see even they clearly prioritize going where the money is. Theres only so many dates/stops you can do in a year after all.

You should not have said that

In my defence, I didn’t read the rest of the thread. I was just sharing my thoughts. Uh uh, is it controversial?
