Global K-pop sensation BTS is set to release their first-ever live album, "Permission to Dance on Stage – Live," on July 18. This highly anticipated release captures the energy and excitement of their record-breaking global tour of the same name, offering fans an immersive concert experience from the comfort of their homes. Pre-orders for the album begin on July 1.

The live album features 22 tracks recorded during the "Permission to Dance on Stage" tour, which saw BTS perform in cities like Seoul, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas between 2021 and 2022. The tour kicked off as an online concert in October 2021 and evolved into a global arena spectacle, attracting over 4 million viewers both in-person and through virtual streams. Fans can expect to hear high-energy live versions of their biggest hits, including "Dynamite," "Butter," "Life Goes On," "Boy With Luv (featuring Halsey)," and "ON". These live renditions mark the first official release of these songs in a concert setting, allowing fans to relive the dynamic sound and electrifying atmosphere of BTS's performances.

In addition to the live album, BTS will also release a digital companion piece titled "Permission to Dance on Stage – Seoul" on the same day. This digital package includes a 141-minute video compilation of the group's final Seoul show at the Olympic Stadium in March 2022. Fans can also enjoy a 92-page photobook with interviews, behind-the-scenes images, and reflections from the band, accessible through a digital card unlocking content on the Weverse platform.
