On June 8, 2024, BTS' "BANGBANGCON" allowed fans to relive three iconic concerts through the band's Festa celebration. The event aired at 12 pm KST and viewers got to experience memorable concert moments via the septet's official YouTube channel, BANGTANTV.
In 2023, the Grammy-nominated K-pop band also hosted a special BANGBANGCON The Live, where they performed live for their fans on YouTube. Fans got to witness Jimin and Taehyung's Friends duet, the band performing Jamais Vu, and a moving rendition of the group's well-known song Spring Day.
Due to the members' ongoing military enlistment, the 2024 Festa BANGBANGCON event did not include any live performances. However, fans were able to revisit the greatest moments from the band's concerts through a YouTube livestream once again. Fans got to relive the group's iconic performances on songs like Tomorrow, Miss Right, Embarrassed, Road/Path, Lost, and more during the event.
The schedule for BANGBANGCON 2024 included:
- 2014 LIVE Trilogy Episode II The Red Bullet
- 2017 LIVE Trilogy Episode III The Wings Tour Final
- BTS World Tour Love Yourself: Speak Yourself (The Final)
BTS Festa 2024 celebration brought back memories for fans with past concerts being live-streamed
On June 13, 2024, the group will mark its 11th anniversary. As per tradition, the K-pop band celebrates its anniversary each year with their fans (ARMY) with two weeks of festivities. This is known as the Festa celebration, and the band creates unique content including practice videos, handwritten letters, family portraits, live performances, songs dedicated to ARMY, and more.
