The group Stray Kids made history in the K-Pop industry as the first K-Pop artist to hold a solo concert at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Stray Kids performed twice on July 18 and 19 (local time) in London as part of their world tour ″Stray Kids World Tour 〈dominATE〉.″ They first met approximately 5,000 fans during their overseas showcase tour ″UNVEIL TOUR ’I am...’″ in 2019 and thrilled 50,000 fans as headliners at ″BST Hyde Park″ in 2024. In 2025, they became the first K-Pop artist to perform in front of a large crowd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They also gained attention by breaking the MD sales record during this concert.
The weather in London on the 18th and 19th was unpredictable. The 18th had clear skies, while rain fell from early morning on the 19th, but the skies cleared just in time for the concert. Fans wearing Stray Kids’ MD merchandise were noticeable throughout the city, especially at White Hart Lane station near the stadium, where many gathered. Fans dressed in black and red dress codes caught the eye with their unique and affectionate styling. Many audience members came with their families, and parents wearing T-shirts with various messages brought smiles.
Before the concert started, fans enjoyed a special festive atmosphere while waiting around the stadium. As the concert began at 7 PM, with the sound rising and dancers’ movements captured on stage, the audience rose in unison to cheer. Stray Kids kicked off the concert with ″MOUNTAINS,″ delivering 30 songs live over approximately 180 minutes. Crowd sing-alongs occurred during songs that ranked on the UK official singles chart, such as ″MANIAC,″ ″Tekk,″ ″Rak (樂),″ and ″Chk Chk Boom.″ The stage was decorated with wide screens, LED displays, and giant balloons, enhancing the immersive experience of the concert.
Stray Kids moved around the stage at various angles to engage with the audience. A steel structure eight stories high was installed behind the floor seats, projecting different lights and creating flames according to the songs. Midway through the concert, as the last notes of ″Tekk″ ended, eight fireworks soared into the sky, and during ″Rak (樂)″ and ″MIROH,″ a dazzling fireworks display unfolded.
At the peak of the concert, Stray Kids communicated closely with fans while riding an electric cart around the stadium. Fans cheered by displaying various slogans. During the encore, members went down to the floor seats to high-five fans and make heart gestures. They enjoyed the moment with local fans by sharing comments related to London.
As the concert concluded, Stray Kids expressed their gratitude to the fans. I.N said, ″It was truly a dream-like two days,″ while Changbin expressed, ″I want to savor everything about this stadium.″ Seungmin mentioned, ″I will never forget this moment,″ and Han stated, ″I will appear in an even better form, so please wait.″ Through these two concerts, Stray Kids left another significant footprint in the global music market.
