A Massive New World Tour and Global Festival Dominance

Alongside the new music announcements, the reveal of a fresh world tour logo has captured intense attention. Under the simple title “Stray Kids World Tour,” this upcoming concert series will carry forward the incredible momentum of their previous record-breaking tour, domiNATE, which successfully wrapped up in October 2025 after hitting 35 regions for a total of 56 massive shows. Detailed schedules and ticketing information for the new tour will be unveiled step-by-step in the coming weeks.

Before launching their full tour, Stray Kids will continue to expand their massive global footprint by headlining major international music festivals. Following their wildly successful headlining performance at The Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City on June 6, the group is locked in to highlight the historic Rock in Rio festival in Brazil this September.

Furthermore, September will see the launch of “STRAYCITY,” a brand-new, custom-designed music festival organized and led by Stray Kids themselves, set to take over three major regions across Latin America. With a packed summer schedule, a fresh album, and massive stadium stages on the horizon, Stray Kids is ready to cement their status as definitive global icons.
