The group STRAY KIDS will make its first-ever entrance into a stadium-type venue in South Korea this coming October, marking the spectacular finale of its world tour.
On the evening of September 5th, JYP Entertainment released a poster on its official social media channels announcing the encore concert of the “Stray Kids World Tour ‘Dominate’.”
According to the revealed poster, STRAY KIDS will hold its concert, “Stray Kids World Tour ‘Dominate: Celebrate’,” on October 18th and 19th at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, bringing the long-running tour to a close.
The poster features bold red lettering crossing the center, conveying intense energy and emphasizing STRAY KIDS’ presence and weight as a “Kpop champion.” The eight members are dynamically arranged, each showing distinct expressions and poses that visualize the vibrant spirit of the performance. A hip-hop style illustration also expresses the group’s identity.
The concert’s name combines their mini-album “ODDINARY”, released in July 2024, with the English word “Celebrate,” meaning “to commemorate” or “to celebrate.” After successfully wrapping up a dazzling world tour with 54 shows across 34 regions worldwide, STRAY KIDS is returning home to celebrate with a grand event that will fill the stadium venue, under a blue sky, with cheers of joy.
Notably, with this encore concert, STRAY KIDS will set a record by entering a stadium in South Korea for the very first time. In September 2022, during the special Seoul leg (Unveil 11) of their world tour “Maniac,” they performed at the KSPO Dome (formerly Gymnastics Stadium), then in October 2023, with the special Seoul leg (Unveil 13) of the “Five-Star Dome Tour 2023,” they performed at Gocheok Sky Dome, steadily increasing the scale of their venues. For their 7th debut anniversary in 2025, they will finally present a landmark performance at a national stadium.
STRAY KIDS toured the world for about 11 months with their largest world tour to date, “Dominate,” earning their reputation as a “Global Stadium Artist.” Out of 34 venues, they performed in 27 stadiums, a remarkable achievement, and achieved various firsts and highest records at 13 of these stadiums, which is half of them. To celebrate this and to express gratitude to their fans, they released their 4th full-length album “KARMA”, featuring the title track “Ceremony,” which made history by reaching No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 for the 7th consecutive time.
