Stray Kids completes their ’dominATE’ journey. Starting with a performance at Seoul KSPO DOME in August 2024, Stray Kids is embarking on a world tour titled ’Stray Kids World Tour ’dominATE’’, which spans 54 concerts in 34 locations worldwide, marking their largest tour to date. After successfully organizing a massive tour covering Asia, Oceania, Latin America, North America, and Europe, they will conclude this grand expedition with a performance in Rome on July 30. Before that, they highlighted their remarkable achievements that will continue until the last moment of this 340-day journey.

Stray Kids’ world tour is set to cover a travel distance of approximately 285,000 kilometers, equivalent to circling the Earth seven times. The new world tour, which began in Seoul, takes its name from the mini album ’ATE’ announced in July 2024 and uses the English word ’dominate,’ reflecting their ambition to seize not only the domestic and international music markets but also the global stage. Stray Kids has expanded their performance radius to five continents, further proving their global popularity.

Out of the 34 venues for this world tour, Stray Kids will perform at 31 locations for the first time, with 27 of these being stadiums. This showcases the unique momentum of Stray Kids as a ’global top artist.’ Compared to the previous world tour, ’Stray Kids 2nd World Tour ″MANIAC″,’ this tour shows a more pronounced expansion. In March 2023, Stray Kids held their debut stadium concert at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles as part of the encore performances for the tour. Over the next two years, they made history by achieving six consecutive number ones on the Billboard 200 chart, the main chart of Billboard in the U.S., and winning awards at major music award ceremonies like the ’MTV Video Music Awards’ and ’Billboard Music Awards.’ These accomplishments led to Stray Kids’ participation as headliners at major global festivals.

Through this world tour, Stray Kids has entered 27 stadiums across five continents, including Latin America, North America, and Europe. This represents a staggering 2600% increase in the number of stadium performances compared to their previous tour, highlighting their status in the global stadium scene.

Stray Kids has established various first and record achievements in about half of the 27 stadiums for the new world tour. They became the first K-pop artist to perform at Estádio do Morumbi in São Paulo and left their mark as the first K-pop artist in six stadiums among ten in North America. Notably, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, they became the first to hold two consecutive shows at the venue, and at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, they held their first concert after its opening in June.

The European leg of the tour will take place in six venues, setting records as the first K-pop artist to perform at five stadiums, including Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, and Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Among the regions where performances have been held, the shows at the stadiums in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Madrid mark the first entry for Asian artists beyond K-pop, making them the largest standalone K-pop concerts ever held in the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain. This demonstrates Stray Kids’ immense influence.

Every step of Stray Kids reflects the effort equivalent to seven trips around the Earth, showcasing that they have achieved the titles of first and largest in K-pop and Asia through their new world tour ’dominATE.’ On the 26th and 27th, they will perform at Stade de France in Paris, boasting the largest standalone concert scale since their debut, with their eight members performing in a super-large stadium that accommodates around 80,000 seats, marking a significant milestone in their growth. They will then enter Stadio Olimpico in Rome on the 30th, becoming the first K-pop artist to perform there and concluding the ’dominATE’ finale.
