I did a quick perusal of this thread and didn't see BTS mentioned. They could easily do a long residency at the Sphere.

I think I mentioned that a K Pop band could do it, but I didn’t know which was the most popular

BTS is the one. Presale tickets for their upcoming tour went on sale yesterday. My wife and her friend tried to get tickets for three shows and came up empty. The Ticketmaster waiting room for the Sofi show was 115,000 people in line ahead of the wife.

It's always interesting to see how popular some genres are that you don't follow or are not familiar with.

I was surprised that an EDM artists like Anyma was able to sell out multiple nights,

Another, Illenium, is scheduled for 2026 and Latin artist Carin Leon is also doing a series this year.

I also think there are different tiers of groups. I don't think there are a lot of bands that could do what the Eagles or Dead and Company are doing.

There are many more who could pull off a 3-5 night series.

Because they're all done with their mandatory military service now, BTS could probably sell out the larger college stadiums if they tried.

Yeah, they all started rotating through their military service in 2022, with the last one finishing in June of 2025. They'll easily sell out this tour, which is all NFL stadiums, I think. But any of the college spots that seat a hundred grand, Michigan, OSU, LSU, etc., they would sell them out, too.
