Released on July 18, the album contains 22 tracks of the boy group’s performances from their “Permission to Dance on Stage” tour from 2021 to 2022. The tour, which kicked off in Seoul, South Korea, was held online and offline due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The tracklist includes live versions of hit songs “Dynamite,” “Butter,” and “Permission to Dance.” According to a Naver article shared by Big Hit Music, BTS’s label, the album also features live versions of newly arranged songs for the concert, such as “Fire” and “IDOL,” which were reconstructed with a more intense sound.

But wait, there is more! BTS will also release the “Permission to Dance On Stage – Seoul” digital package, featuring the septet’s performance at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul in 2022.
The 141-minute package will be available on the global fandom platform Weverse, featuring an interview photobook of BTS’ moments and behind-the-scenes from the concert.
The “Permission to Dance On Stage – Live” album came after all seven BTS members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—reunited for the first time on a Weverse livestream after they completed their mandatory military service. Suga was the last BTS member to be discharged on June 21.
Before this, the six other members were spotted at J-Hope’s “Hope on the Stage Final” concert at the Goyang Sports Complex in South Korea.
