BTS Confirmed as Openers of the KIIS FM ‘Jingle Ball’
Fans of BTS, affectionately known as the A.R.M.Y., found themselves on the receiving end of an early holiday treat on Monday when the band was confirmed to be opening up the 2021 KIIS FM Jingle Ball. The boy band will be kicking off the night’s acclaimed lineup with sure-to-be-stellar performances of their songs “Dynamite” and “Butter.”
Since 2000, the KIIS-FM radio station of Los Angeles has hosted their annual “Jingle Ball,” consistently finding itself as one of the top music events of the holiday season. This will not be the first time that BTS has brought their talent to the Jingle Ball stage. The band also appeared in the mega-concert in just 2019, and it left such a strong mark on the A.R.M.Y. that Twitter stans could not help but reminisce about the iconic performance in light of the news.
When BTS performed at the Jingle Ball in 2019 and the whole show became their concert 😉💜

In addition to BTS, the concert series will feature performances from Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Lil Nas X, Doja Cat, Dixie D’Amelio, Black Eyed Peas, The Kid LAROI, Tate McRae, Bazzi, and Saweetie. Talk about a lineup! Since the event is not virtual like some pandemic era concerts had been, many musician devotees are excited at the idea of their favorite artists interacting in person again. The collaboration potential for a group of performers like this seems to be limitless. Some potential Ed Sheeran x BTS interaction is particularly exciting, considering that the two artists have already collaborated on both “Make It Right” and “Permission to Dance” and still have not yet met in person.
the jingle ball is offline which means BTS and doja cat could interact so conclusion j-hope x doja collab soon !!

Members of the A.R.M.Y. should not fret, though. Those who fall short in getting free tickets will still be able to watch their favorite artists from the lineup work the stage at The Forum. The CW Network will be streaming the entire concert live on CWTV.com and The CW App, so BTS fans everywhere will be able to watch their favorite band bring some “Fire” to the winter season.
