The group Stray Kids is racing towards another ‘first’ title.With their ongoing world tour ‘dominATE’, they are cruising towards breaking the record for the largest audience for a single K -pop tour.
The record-breaking peak has been held by BLACKPINK for the second year in a row.BLACKPINK attracted 2.11 million fans worldwide with their world tour ‘BORN PINK’, which ended in September 2023.

Stray Kids ‘agency JYP Entertainment estimates that the expected attendance for’ Dominate ‘is in the 2.2 million range.As the tour approaches its conclusion, Stray Kids are turning their dreams into reality by recording consecutive sell-outs.

Stray Kids’ record-breaking challenge seems to have reached its peak with the concerts held at LA SoFi Stadium in the United States on the 31st of last month and the 1st of this month(local time).Stray Kids, who were the first 4th generation K-pop group to enter the stadium, added one more concert to their original one due to the explosive response.

SoFi Stadium is a representative concert hall in the western United States where world-famous artists such as the Rolling Stones, BTS, and Twice have performed.The stadium is also scheduled to be used as a venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2028 LA Olympics.Stray Kids proved their rapid growth by performing on the SoFi stage, which is more than three times larger in capacity, just two years after their debut North American stadium concert at BMO Stadium in March 2023.

‘Dominate’ is also Stray Kids’ largest-scale world tour, consisting of 55 shows in 34 regions around the world.Starting with Asia, the tour will continue to Europe, North America, etc., and will end in Rome on July 30 after performing at the Arlington Globe Life Field on the 6th and 7th.
