BTS Surprise Songs List and Tracker (Every ARIRANG Show So Far)

All 54 shows so far are confirmed: we checked every night's setlist on setlist.fm against Wikipedia's tour article and The Honey Pop's running list. We found no show where the surprise songs are missing or in doubt. The few places where sources disagree are explained in the notes at the bottom.

How the surprise songs work on the ARIRANG tour

The setlist is otherwise fixed. Near the end of the show, BTS performs "Come Over," "Butter" and "Dynamite." Then come two songs that change every night, and the show closes with "Please" and "Into the Sun." That makes 23 songs on a normal night. Our full ARIRANG setlist in order shows exactly where the slot falls.

• How many: two per show. The one exception was Busan on June 13, 2026, when BTS did three.
• What gets picked: songs from BTS's back catalog, from big singles like "Spring Day" and "DNA" to deep cuts. No ARIRANG album track has been a surprise pick, since those are already in the main set.
• How it's chosen: BIGHIT MUSIC hasn't explained it. Elite Daily describes a DJ "spinning" two tracks that aren't on the official setlist, and Korea JoongAng Daily called the opening-weekend version "karaoke time" with fans.
• Repeats: the first 12 shows had no repeats. The first repeat was "Spring Day" in Mexico City on May 10.

Songs are listed in the order BTS performed them that night, according to setlist.fm.

Repeats: surprise songs played more than once

Across 54 shows, 31 of the 61 songs have come up more than once. Only one pair has repeated as a pair: "Go Go" and "Permission to Dance," in Las Vegas on May 23 and Arlington on Aug 15.

Most-played surprise songs (three or more plays)

Every repeat, with dates

Surprise songs played only once (30)

Some of these were real deep cuts. Setlist.fm notes that Outro: House of Cards (Lima, Oct 10) and Autumn Leaves (East Rutherford, Aug 2) had not been performed since 2016. It also logs Take Two, Paradise and Louder Than Bombs as live debuts.

BTS surprise songs left: what hasn't come up yet

Nobody outside the team knows what's left. BTS and BIGHIT MUSIC haven't published a list of possible songs, and some songs have already come up four times. What we can say is which well-known BTS songs haven't been a surprise pick through Oct 14, 2026, Santiago:

• Yet to Come
• Answer: Love Myself
• War of Hormone
• Blue & Grey
• The Truth Untold
• Film Out
• Stay Gold
• Lights

Treat that as a "not yet" list, not a prediction.

BTS surprise songs tonight: the next shows

The two surprise songs are only revealed on stage. These are the next shows. We'll fill in each one after the show ends.

Santiago times come from Ticketmaster Chile via Latin Times, and São Paulo times come from Rolling Stone Brasil (gates open at 4 p.m.). The rest of the schedule is on our full ARIRANG tour dates page. If you're going, see what to bring to a BTS concert and our ARMY Bomb Ver. 4 guide.

Notes on the data

• Busan, June 13: setlist.fm and Wikipedia both list three songs in the surprise slot that night (Dimple, Ddaeng, Magic Shop), and our counts include all three. The Honey Pop treats Magic Shop as an extra anniversary song instead. If you leave it out, Magic Shop has been played twice, not three times.
• "One More Night" isn't a surprise song. At both Busan shows it replaced "Please" in the closing section, per setlist.fm and Wikipedia.
• Arlington dates: The Honey Pop lists the Arlington shows as Aug 16 and 17. The official tour site and setlist.fm both have Aug 15 and 16, so we use those.
• Song titles: we use the English titles that setlist.fm uses. Some lists show Silver Spoon as "Baepsae."
