The group Stray Kids held a grand performance at the historic opening of the Toronto Rogers Stadium, marking the end of their North American stadium tour.
Stray Kids successfully completed their North American stadium tour, which featured '13 performances in 10 regions,' concluding with a solo concert at the Toronto Rogers Stadium on the 29th (local time).
This Toronto performance, the final stop of the North American tour, was the largest K-pop concert ever held in Canada. The Rogers Stadium, a concert-only venue that accommodates up to 50,000 people, saw Stray Kids become the first performers after its opening in June. Coldplay and Oasis will also visit the venue in the future.
Opening with the powerful 'MOUNTAINS,' they delivered a variety of stages including the title track from their album that topped the U.S. Billboard main chart 'Billboard 200' and a unit song included in the digital single 'Mixtape: dominATE.' They expressed their feelings by saying, "I am really happy to be able to close the North American tour in Toronto. I was greatly moved by how many STAYs filled the venue. Thanks to the fans, we were able to hold such a big concert. Thank you for lighting up Toronto with bright light tonight."
Beginning on May 24 in Seattle and concluding in Toronto, Stray Kids set various records during their North American tour and enhanced their reputation as 'global stadium artists.' They made history as the 'first K-pop artist' to perform at Seattle's T-Mobile Park, Orlando's Camping World Stadium, Washington D.C.'s Nationals Park, Chicago's Wrigley Field, and Toronto's Rogers Stadium, and became the first artist to hold two consecutive performances at Arlington's Globe Life Field. After their concert at San Francisco's Oracle Park, achieving 'first K-pop boy group' entry and sellout, they received extensive exposure from ABC and CBS's western regional news, as well as California's leading daily newspapers. They also turned New York's landmark, the Empire State Building, and Chicago's Willis Tower Skydeck twin antennas red, symbolizing the group. After hosting their first North American stadium concert in March 2023 in Los Angeles, Stray Kids proved their immense growth and popularity by filling large stadiums across all 10 regions in North America with crowds. They will embark on their first European tour, consisting of 8 performances across 6 regions, starting at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam on July 11.
