Stray Kids Set New Record as Youngest K-Pop Group to Perform at SoFi Stadium

The eight-member boy band Stray Kids held two performances at SoFi Stadium in California on Saturday and Sunday, becoming the youngest K-Pop group to perform there. The shows were part of their ongoing “dominATE” world tour in the United States, with an additional Sunday performance added at fans’ request after the original plan called for only one show on Saturday. This marks the third time a K-Pop group has held a solo concert at SoFi Stadium, following BTS and Twice, with BLACKPINK also set to perform there in July. During the concerts, Stray Kids performed 30 of their hit songs over a period of about three hours, ranging from their 2018 debut track “District 9” to their latest song “Giant” released in 2024. After the shows, Stray Kids expressed their gratitude to their fans by saying, “We are thankful to all STAY members who came here today. We are truly happy to be able to give back the love and happiness you have given us. All of this is possible because of you. This tour makes us feel even more appreciative.” Stray Kids first held stadium performances in North America at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles during their second world tour “Maniac” in 2023, and according to their agency JYP Entertainment, SoFi Stadium has seating capacity approximately three times larger than BMO Stadium. Stray Kids’ “dominATE” tour will begin with two performances at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, before continuing with a show in Rome, Italy, on July 30. The tour plans to hold 55 performances in 34 different locations, aiming to meet 2.2 million fans worldwide. Meanwhile, G-Dragon performed at the Head In The Clouds 2025 festival in Brookside Park, Pasadena, California, on May 31, where he sang “Home Sweet Home,” further demonstrating the ongoing global expansion of K-Pop artists’ influence through international performances.
