The Most Beautiful Moment in Life On Stage Tour, also known as the 2015 BTS Live "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life On Stage", was the third concert tour headlined by South Korean boy band BTS to promote their The Most Beautiful Moment in Life series, including their EPs The Most Beautiful Moment Life, Pt.1, Pt. 2 (2015) and the compilation album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever (2016). The tour began on November 27, 2015 in South Korea. An extension to the tour, titled 2016 BTS Live "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life On Stage: Epilogue" began in South Korea on May 7, 2016. In all, the entire tour attracted over 182,500 spectators at 13 cities in 7 countries.
Background
On September 8, 2015, BTS released a 12 minute-long trailer titled "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life On Stage: Prologue" on Youtube followed by a poster released September 14, 2015, announcing the tour with listed dates for three shows held at the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium in South Korea.[2] An additional two dates at the Yokohama Arena and two dates at the Kobe World Memorial Hall in Japan were later added and sold out, prompting the listing of a third date at the World Memorial Hall for December 28, 2015.[3] During the tour, BTS canceled their December 27th and December 28th concerts in Kobe due to complaints of dizziness by Suga and V during rehearsals that led to medical evaluation at a local hospital.[4] The two concerts were later rescheduled for March 22nd and 23rd, 2016.
