Baltimore braces for BTS Arirang concerts amid weather scares and traffic plans

Baltimore is preparing for BTS World Tour 'Arirang' shows at M&T Bank Stadium on Aug. 10–11 with gate entry restrictions; a tornado warning briefly disrupted the first night but the concert proceeded, VIP soundcheck was canceled with partial refunds, and officials issued extensive transit and road-closure guidance to manage crowds, including MTA transit options and planned express shuttles, while BTS ARMY fans helped fundraise for a Baltimore youth nonprofit.
