The group Stray Kids has shown strong momentum by announcing additional concerts following the sold-out stadium concerts in LA and New York as part of their new world tour.
Starting in Seattle on May 24, 2025 (local time), Stray Kids will hold solo concerts as part of their world tour ‘Stray Kids World Tour
’ (〈Dominate〉) in 10 regions in North America.
Of these, the concerts in Los Angeles SoFi Stadium and New York Citi Field scheduled for May 31 and June 18 sold out super quickly after ticket sales opened on the 22nd, and JYP Entertainment has confirmed one additional concert each in Los Angeles on June 1 and New York on June 19 due to the enthusiastic support of local fans.
The recent news of sold-out concerts shows Stray Kids‘ global status. With the previously sold-out Mexico City Estadio GNP Seguros concert, they will stand shoulder to shoulder with leading global artists, and with their Los Angeles SoPay Stadium performance, they will become the ‘3rd K-pop artist ever to enter the stadium’ following BTS and TWICE.
New York City Field is a meaningful concert venue where world-class musicians such as Paul McCartney, Beyoncé, and Lady GaGa have performed, and Stray Kids will brighten their status as ‘Global Top Artists’ with their solo concert in the massive stadium.
With this, Stray Kids will expand the scale of their tour by holding a total of 44 performances in 32 regions around the world. In the recently announced second plan, they delivered news of large-scale stadium performances in 20 regions across Latin America, North America, and Europe. Following Singapore National Stadium, Melbourne Marvel Stadium, Sydney Allianz Stadium, Kaohsiung National Stadium, and Bangkok National Stadium, they will take over 25 large-scale stadiums around the world with SKZ Energy, including Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros, Los Angeles SoFi Stadium, New York City Field, Toronto‘s Rogers Stadium, London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and Paris‘ Stade de France.
Stray Kids will also continue their tour in Macau on November 29-30, Osaka on December 5, 7-8, Bangkok on the 14th, Jakarta on the 21st, and Hong Kong on January 18-19, 2025, holding 23 concerts in 20 regions across Latin America, North America, and Europe from March to July.
In particular, on December 13th at 2 PM (0 AM EST), a new format album SKZHOP HIPTAPE ‘合 (HOP)’ and the title song ‘Walkin On Water’ will be released.
