BTS Announces the Quarantine Livestream the Universe Demands
As musicians have set weekly or daily appointments for livestream performances to satisfy fans, BTS ARMY has had to settle for bits of content: a performance on James Corden here, some concert recordings from the vault there. Now, the superstar K-pop seven-piece has announced its first live concert from quarantine — but you’ll have to wait another month for it to actually happen. BTS will perform “Bang Bang Con the Live” on June 14 at 5 a.m. ET, or 6 p.m. where they are in South Korea. The concert will be a 90-minute pay-per-view experience, with more details to come. After BTS released its most recent album, Map of the Soul: 7, in February, the group had to cancel a world tour in support of the new music due to the coronavirus. Between now and the debut livestream concert, the group will also perform at the after-party for Barack and Michelle Obama’s YouTube commencement on June 6, for all the graduating ARMY members out there.
