Stray Kids continue to cement their status as a global phenomenon, announcing additional shows for their dominATE world tour after tickets for their U.S. stadium performances sold out at record speed. Starting on May 24, 2024, in Seattle, the group will perform in 10 North American cities, including stops at the iconic SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on May 31 and Citi Field in New York City on June 18.
The initial ticket release on November 22 witnessed an overwhelming response, with both the Los Angeles and New York shows selling out within minutes. In response to the fervent demand, JYP Entertainment has added extra dates in both cities—June 1 in Los Angeles and June 19 in New York—ensuring more fans can experience the electrifying performances.
Stray Kids are no strangers to sold-out stadiums. Their previous concert at Mexico City's Estadio GNP Seguros, a venue typically reserved for the world's top artists, was also completely booked, underscoring their growing prominence on the global stage.
Performing at SoFi Stadium places Stray Kids in an elite group of K-pop acts, joining BTS and TWICE as the only artists from the genre to headline the venue. Meanwhile, Citi Field has hosted legends like Paul McCartney, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga, highlighting the significance of Stray Kids' presence at these iconic locations.
The dominATE tour is now set to encompass 32 cities with 44 shows worldwide, including stops in Latin America, North America, and Europe. Stray Kids will headline 25 of the world’s largest stadiums, such as Singapore’s National Stadium, Sydney’s Allianz Stadium, London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and Paris’ Stade de France. This ambitious expansion further solidifies their position as one of the most influential K-pop groups of their generation.
Before the North American leg, Stray Kids will perform in various Asian cities, including Macau on November 29-30, Osaka on December 5 and 7-8, Bangkok on December 14, Jakarta on December 21, and Hong Kong on January 18-19.
The group’s tour intensity continues through March to July 2024, with 23 performances across 20 cities in Latin America, North America, and Europe. Additionally, fans can look forward to their new album, SKZHIP HOP Tape: 合 (Hap), and its lead single, Walkin’ on Water, set to release on December 13 at 2 PM.
