K-pop sensation Stray Kids is gearing up to take the world by storm with their highly anticipated “dominATE” world tour. The eight-member group, known for their electrifying performances and chart-topping hits, has announced an extensive lineup of concerts spanning multiple continents, much to the delight of their dedicated fanbase, known as STAY.
The “dominATE” world tour, which kicked off in August 2024 in Seoul, South Korea, is now expanding its reach with a newly announced second phase. This upcoming leg will see Stray Kids performing in 20 regions across North America, Latin America, Europe, and the UK, showcasing their global appeal and ambition.
Starting in March 2025, the group will embark on a whirlwind journey across the Americas. Fans in Santiago, Chile, will be the first to experience the Latin American leg of the tour on March 28. The boys will then make their way through Brazil, Peru, and Mexico, before heading north to conquer the United States and Canada.
The North American portion of the tour is set to be a spectacular affair, with Stray Kids performing in major cities such as Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. Canadian STAYs have reason to celebrate as well, with Toronto being included in the lineup – a first for the group in the country.
European fans won’t be left out of the excitement. July 2025 will see Stray Kids bringing their high-energy performances to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, and Paris. This diverse range of locations ensures that fans from various corners of Europe will have the chance to see their favorite group live.
JYP Entertainment, the group’s agency, has emphasized the scale of this tour, stating that all 20 performances in the second phase will be held in large-scale stadiums. This ambitious undertaking brings the total number of “dominATE” concerts to an impressive 41 performances across 32 regions, making it the largest tour in Stray Kids’ career to date.
The tour’s title, “Dominate” (stylized as “dominATE”), reflects the group’s determination and ambition as global top artists. It’s a clear statement of their intent to leave a lasting impact on the international music scene.
Fans eagerly anticipating the tour can expect a three-hour spectacle filled with Stray Kids’ biggest hits, stunning choreography, and special stages. The setlist is likely to include crowd favorites like “Thunderous” and “Back Door,” along with tracks from their recent releases, the Korean EP “Ate” and Japanese album “Giant”.
As excitement builds, STAYs are already preparing for the intense ticket-buying process. Many fans have taken to social media to discuss strategies and share their anticipation. With performances scheduled in some of the largest venues in each city, including Toronto’s Rogers Centre, competition for tickets is expected to be fierce.
