BTS book a show in Saudi Arabia - fans aren't happy

Korean boy-band BTS has added a Saudi Arabia date to their world tour schedule - they will play at King Fahd International Stadium in the capital city of Riyadh on Oct. 11. BTS are poised to become the first foreign act to play a headline stadium show in the kingdom, but not all fans are happy, suggesting Saudi Arabia’s poor record on human rights should be enough to make the boys rethink their plans, Music News reports. Nicki Minaj recently cancelled her appearance at the Jeddah World Fest in Saudi Arabia, citing as reason "rights of women, the LGBTQ community and freedom of expression”.
