BTS are making history – again.
After becoming the first Korean band in history to have a number one on the Billboard 200 chart, the K-pop idols will become the first Korean artists to perform a stadium show in America.
BTS have announced a new show for the North America leg of their Love Yourself tour at Citi Field stadium in New York City.
The home of the New York Mets has a capacity of 40,000 people, making BTSs gig the largest by a Korean artist in the US, according to Billboard.
Tour promoter Powerhouse Live confirmed the date, with tickets going on sale on 17 August.

The Citi Field date will be BTSs final North American date, after playing Los Angeles, Oakland, Fort Worth, Newark, Chicago and three dates in Hamilton, Canada.
Tickets are expected to go quickly, as BTS have sold out every date on the tour so far.
The Love Yourself tour kicks off in Seoul, South Korea on 25 August, before making it to Europe on 9 October for two London dates.
BTS previously extended the tour into 2019, announcing a string of dates in Japan.
The boys – RM, Suga, Jin, V, Jimin, Jungkook and J-Hope – have a new album coming out before then, with a repackaged version of Love Yourself: Tear featuring seven new tracks.
