'K-pop champion' Stray Kids is hosting a grand festival that opens today (Oct. 18) and continues for two days at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium. Stray Kids will hold the solo concert Stray Kids World Tour 'dominATE : celebrATE' ('dominATE : celebrATE') at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on Oct. 18-19. This concert is an encore that crowns the finale of their largest-ever world tour, which began at Seoul KSPO DOME in Aug. 2024 and reached Rome's Stadio Olimpico in Jul. 2025 with 54 performances across 34 territories worldwide, and it is significant as Stray Kids' first domestic stadium appearance since their debut seven years ago. Stray Kids set numerous records through their massive world tour 'dominATE.' They carried out stadium tours across Latin America, North America and Europe, and achieved the milestone of performing at stadiums in Japan just five years after their official Japanese debut. Of 34 venues, they performed at stadiums for the first time at 27, and among those 27 stadiums they claimed various firsts and highest titles at 13.
Like the concert title, which combines the mini album ATE released in Jul. 2024 and the English word celebrate, meaning 'to commemorate' and 'to congratulate,' Stray Kids will stage a festival-like performance to celebrate and enjoy with their fans STAY the achievements from the world tour. The fact that Stray Kids, who have conquered various overseas stadiums, are holding their first outdoor stadium concert in Korea adds to the special nature of the event. In a wide stadium with the blue sky as its roof, Stray Kids, who will mark another 'first' record for the group while playing with the audience, will raise satisfaction and capture fans' hearts with performances befitting the title 'global stadium artist.' Audiences can also expect a variety of spectacular sights befitting Stray Kids, known as a 'performance hotspot.' The protruding mouth-shaped stage that embodies the 'ATE' in the tour name 'dominATE' is an original form unique to Stray Kids concerts and provides differentiation, and the stage for a track from the fourth full-length album KARMA, which rewrote the 70-year history of the Billboard 200 main albums chart, will also be unveiled. Having steadily expanded venue sizes by entering KSPO DOME in 2022 and Gocheok Sky Dome in 2023, Stray Kids will finally make their solo debut at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium in Oct. 2025, leaving another monumental footprint in the group's growth history.
