BTS will add two concerts to the Southeast Asian leg of its ongoing world tour, its agency BigHit Music said Wednesday.

They will take place on Dec. 29 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and March 16 of next year in Bulacan, Philippines.

The newly announced dates add to previously scheduled shows on Dec. 26 and 27 at Jakarta’s Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium and on March 13 and 14 at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan.

The addition brings BTS’s ongoing world tour, “Arirang,” to 88 performances, the most in K-pop history, according to the band's agency.

The band previously added shows at seven locations, including Tampa, Florida; Las Vegas; Lima, Peru; and Buenos Aires.

A total of 110,000 fans reportedly attended the band's Busan concerts on Friday and Saturday. The septet will move on to its sold-out European leg of the world tour, spanning 10 performances across five cities, beginning in Madrid on June 26.

BTS kicked off its world tour on April 9 in Goyang, Gyeonggi.
