BTS fans just received permission to dance along to the band’s concerts all over again, with label Big Hit announcing Monday (June 30) that a new live album is arriving later this summer.
Marking the K-pop phenomenon’s first-ever live album, Permission to Dance On Stage — Live is set to drop July 18. It will feature recordings of BTS’ performances of various hits — such as Billboard Hot 100-toppers “Dynamite” and “Butter” — on the group’s 2021-2022 Permission to Dance On Stage tour.
Live renditions of “Life Goes On,” “Boy With Luv (feat. Halsey)” and “ON” will also appear on the project’s 22-song tracklist. Plus, the compilation will be paired with a digital package titled BTS Permission to Dance On Stage – Seoul, which will feature footage of RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook performing at Olympic Stadium in Seoul on March 13, 2022, as well as a 92-page interview photobook with behind-the-scenes memories from the concert.
BTS Permission to Dance On Stage – Seoul will be offered as a digital code in card format, which fans can plug in to Weverse to access high-definition VOD content.
The announcement comes shortly after SUGA was discharged from the South Korean military, becoming the final member of the band to complete his mandatory service duties. Five years after last releasing an album — 2020’s Be, which topped the Billboard 200 — BTS is now expected to reunite very soon, as teased by Big Hit and the members over the past few months.
