STRAY KIDS
The boy group STRAY KIDS set a new record with a solo concert at a large stadium in Frankfurt, Germany.
On the 17th, according to their agency JYP Entertainment, STRAY KIDS‘ members held a concert on July 15 (local time) at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany, as part of their world tour “dominATE”. This concert was the largest solo K-pop concert ever held in Frankfurt and in Germany, with about 44,000 seats, and it sold out amid a thrilling atmosphere.
Deutsche Bank Park is a large stadium in Germany that hosts major sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2024. World-renowned musicians like Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, and Kendrick Lamar have performed there. STRAY KIDS became the first Asian artist to hold a solo concert at this venue and sell it out, setting another “first” record.
That day, STRAY KIDS performed fan-favorite signature songs such as “Thunderous” and “God’s menu,” as well as many title tracks from albums that reached number one on the US Billboard 200. They also performed unit songs that showcased the members’ musical chemistry. With over 30 songs performed, they heated up the atmosphere. The audience responded with passionate cheers and sing-alongs.
At the end of the concert, STRAY KIDS expressed their gratitude to the fans who filled the venue, saying:
“Because this concert was made with STAYs (the fandom name), it was truly perfect, and thanks to you, we were deeply moved countless times. Thank you for creating more wonderful memories with us today.”
Following the Frankfurt concert, which marked the successful start of its European tour with 8 shows across 6 cities, STRAY KIDS will head to London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 18 and 19, becoming the first K-pop artist to perform at this stadium. The tour will continue in Madrid on the 22nd, Paris on the 26th and 27th, and conclude with the largest finale of their world tour in Rome on the 30th.
