Since BTS emerged on the scene in 2013, they have been a force. Calling the band successful would be an understatement: In 2019, BTS was the first group since the Beatles to have three No. 1 hits in a year on Billboard’s Top 200. They sold out London’s 90,000-person Wembley Stadium in 90 minutes. Three years ago, ticket sales for their tour crashed the Ticketmaster website, with an average price of $ 452.

But there is hope: Just look at Big Time Rush’s big-time return, the Jonas Brothers’s recent world tour, Fall Out Boy’s bounce back and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
