Stray Kids’ Global Domination: From Seoul to Rome
In case you’ve been living under a Wi-Fi-deprived rock, Stray Kids have been taking over the world—literally. The group’s 2024-2025 world tour titled ‘dominATE’ has hit 34 cities with 54 shows across Asia, Oceania, Latin America, North America, and Europe. What started in August 2024 at Seoul’s KSPO DOME is ending on a high note in Rome on July 30, 2025.
28.5 Million Meters and Counting—That’s Seven Times Around the Earth
The numbers? Mind-boggling. Stray Kids have racked up over 285,000 kilometers of travel—that’s enough to circle the planet seven times. The tour, inspired by their mini-album ‘ATE’ and the word ‘dominate,’ sets its sights on total global takeover, and it’s safe to say: mission accomplished.
From One Stadium to 27: A 2600% Growth in Just One Tour
Out of the 34 venues, the group performed for the first time in 31—27 of which were stadiums. To put things in perspective, their previous ‘MANIAC’ tour in 2023 only had one stadium date in LA. Fast forward two years, and now they’ve headlined stadiums across five continents, making their rise in venues an eye-popping 2600% increase.
Breaking Firsts and Setting Records Across the Globe
Stray Kids didn’t just play big—they made history at 13 stadiums. Highlights include being the first K-pop act to perform at São Paulo’s Estádio do Morumbi and six stadiums in North America. In Toronto, they were the first artists to hold a concert at the Rogers Centre since its June reopening.
In Europe, the group scored K-pop’s first solo shows in five major stadiums including London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Rome’s Stadio Olimpico. The group also became the first Asian act ever to perform in stadiums in cities like Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Madrid, pulling off some of the largest K-pop solo concerts ever held in those nations.
From 4,000 to 80,000 Seats: The Paris Milestone
At the Stade de France in Paris, the group achieved their largest concert to date with a jaw-dropping attendance of around 80,000 fans—20 times bigger than their previous show in France. Not too shabby for eight boys who started in small venues and now dominate mega structures.
The Legacy of ‘dominATE’
As they wrap their record-breaking journey in Rome, Stray Kids solidify their title as not just K-pop heavyweights but global stadium headliners. With milestones scattered across five continents, this tour isn’t just another chapter in their career—it’s a bold exclamation mark declaring the rise of a new K-pop generation on the world stage.
