Stray Kids Breaks New Ground at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
On July 18 and 19, Stray Kids pulled off a milestone feat—becoming the first K-pop act to headline a solo concert at London’s massive Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. You’ve seen the likes of Lady Gaga and Beyoncé grace this stage, but this time, it was eight dynamic performers owning every inch of it.
The two-day show marked part of their record-setting world tour, Stray Kids World Tour <dominATE>, packing in powerful live vocals, jaw-dropping stage effects, and relentless energy. Every seat was filled, every fan screaming, and every moment unforgettable.
