BTS and Spotify join forces to bring the SWIMSIDE immersive fan experience to Manila, running from May 1 to 3, 2026, at the Glorietta Activity Center, Makati City.
Bringing to life the K-pop powerhouse’s most recent record, ARIRANG, to life — SWIMSIDE offers ARMYs a chance to celebrate the much-awaited comeback of the decade.
Filipino ARMYs can expect immersive watch parties, fan missions, special treats, and exclusive SWIMSIDE gifts — offering them an exciting way to experience the K-pop superstars’ music like never before.
This continues Spotify’s commitment to blend music, culture, and community through engaging fan-driven initiatives that bridge the gap between them and the artists they love.
Exclusive to ARMY and Spotify Premium users, fans must pre-register at Helixpay to secure access, as there will only be limited slots available. Pre-registration opens on April 24, 2026, at 12:00 PM. One pass will be issued per account.
The immersive experience’s arrival in Manila follows its successful global runs in high-profile cities such as New York, Seoul, and Tokyo. After Manila, it heads to Jakarta, Brazil, and Mexico.
Before the official launch of SWIMSIDE, fans and Spotify users can head to the app and stream the ‘This is BTS‘ playlist. Premium users can also access the in-app BTS Music Quiz feature to even amplify their fandom love. The quiz is inspired by the group’s journey through the years, which is reflected through ARIRANG, allowing users to revisit pivotal moments that have shaped the group’s legacy as artists.
To access the BTS Music Quiz, click the “Now Playing” view on any BTS track being played. A special treat is waiting for fans who have completed the quiz at SWIMSIDE Manila.
