In August, the group will headline Lollapalooza Chicago, one of the longest-running music festivals in the United States, attracting approximately 400,000 fans annually. Stray Kids will join other headliners such as Tyler, the Creator, and SZA.

Stray Kids previously made history as the first K-pop artist to headline the Paris edition of Lollapalooza in July 2023, performing in front of 60,000 audience members.

Before their appearance in Chicago, Stray Kids will headline two other major music festivals in July: I-Days in Milan and British Summer Time (BST) Hyde Park in London. I-Days, known for attracting over 320,000 spectators, will feature Stray Kids as the first K-pop act to headline. BST Hyde Park, one of London's largest festivals, previously featured BLACKPINK as its first K-pop headliner in 2023.

JYP Entertainment emphasized the significance of Stray Kids' multiple headlining performances overseas, reflecting the group's global popularity and influence.

Since their debut in 2018, Stray Kids has achieved success with hit songs like "Thunderous" and "God's Menu." Their third full-length album, "5-STAR," sold over 4.6 million copies in its first week of release, setting a record among K-pop acts. Stray Kids has also charted on the Billboard 200 albums chart with multiple albums, including their sixth mini-album, "ODDINARY," released in 2022.
