BTS Toronto 2026 Setlist Predictions: Which Songs Will ARMY Hear?

With BTS set to play two nights at Rogers Stadium on August 22 and 23, 2026, one of the biggest questions on every ARMY’s mind is simple: what are they actually going to play?
BTS hasn’t published an official, city-specific setlist for the Toronto dates, and tours of this scale often shift a song or two night to night. But the WORLD TOUR “ARIRANG” has followed a fairly consistent shape at other stops, which gives us a reasonable basis for predicting what a typical night at Rogers Stadium will look and sound like.
Here’s what to expect, broken down by category.
The Likely Title-Track Anchors
Every BTS stadium show leans on the songs that made them a global act in the first place. Based on how the tour has been running, expect the setlist to be built around proven, crowd-tested hits — the kind of songs that work in a 50,000-seat outdoor venue because the entire stadium can sing along without needing a lyric prompt.
Tracks like “Dynamite,” “Butter,” “FAKE LOVE,” and “IDOL” fall into this category — they’re the songs that define BTS’s crossover era and reliably anchor the back half of a main set.
“MIC Drop” and “Not Today” also show up consistently across the tour’s setlists so far.
Both are high-tempo, chant-heavy tracks that work particularly well live, which is likely why they’ve stuck around night after night rather than rotating out.
The Deep Cuts and Fan-Favorite Energy Tracks
Beyond the obvious hits, the ARIRANG tour setlist has consistently made room for songs that reward longtime fans specifically — the tracks that don’t necessarily chart the highest but that ARMY treats as core to the BTS live experience.
“Burning Up (FIRE)” and “Run BTS” both fall into this bucket: high-energy, choreography-forward songs that tend to bring some of the loudest crowd reactions of the night, even though they’re not the “single” of any era.
“Come Over” and “IDOL” paired together (as they’ve appeared on other tour stops) also suggest the setlist is deliberately mixing sing-along, lighter-waving moments with harder, dance-heavy segments rather than front-loading all the high-energy songs into one stretch.
The Newer Material
A notable feature of the ARIRANG tour setlist is how much room it makes for newer songs alongside the catalog classics. Tracks like “NORMAL,” “Merry Go Round,” “Into the Sun,” “FYA,” “Hooligan,” “Body to Body,” “Like Animals,” “2.0,” “SWIM,” and “they don’t know ’bout us” have all been appearing in the tour’s rotation.
These represent the group’s more recent musical direction, and their consistent inclusion suggests BTS is using this tour, at least in part, to introduce newer material to arena- and stadium-sized crowds who may know the group primarily from its earlier eras.
If you’re only familiar with BTS’s 2013–2020 catalog, it’s worth spending some time with these newer tracks before the show — a meaningful chunk of the setlist appears built around them, and knowing the choruses will make a real difference in how much of the stadium you can sing along with.
Songs That Could Go Either Way
A few tracks — “Please,” “Aliens,” and “they don’t know ’bout us” among them — have appeared on some stops of the tour but not universally, which suggests they may be part of a rotating segment rather than a fixed spot in the show.
If BTS follows the pattern other stadium tours use, these are the songs most likely to differ between the Saturday, August 22 show and the Sunday, August 23 show — which is exactly why some fans are choosing to attend both nights rather than picking one.
What This Means If You’re Only Going One Night
If you can only make it to one of the two Toronto dates and you’re trying to decide which, the honest answer is: based on available setlist data, the core of the show — the title-track anchors and the deep-cut fan favorites — appears consistent between nights.
The differences, where they exist, are showing up in the smaller rotating segment, not in the songs most people are actually there to hear.
Unless you have a specific reason to prefer Saturday or Sunday (travel, work schedule, ticket pricing), either night should deliver a broadly similar core experience.

A Note on How Reliable Predictions Like This Are
It’s worth being upfront: setlists for stadium tours can and do change, sometimes with no advance notice, and Toronto could see additions, swaps, or a surprise unlisted track that hasn’t shown up anywhere else on the tour. Treat this as a well-informed guide based on the tour’s pattern so far, not a confirmed program.
The safest approach is to know the catalog broadly — both the older hits and the newer tracks — so you’re ready no matter what actually gets played on August 22 and 23.
