Stray Kids to Host New Latin American Festival “STRAYCITY”

Live Nation and JYP Entertainment are jointly organizing a new music festival titled “STRAYCITY,” centered around Stray Kids. The name “STRAYCITY” is derived from the group’s name “Stray” and aims to serve as a platform for awakening an inner self and discovering a new version of oneself.

The festival will begin on September 9 (local time) at the Bibé Claro District Cultural Plaza in Bogotá, Colombia, followed by events on September 14 at the Hipódromo de San Isidro in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and on September 25 at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City. Stray Kids will serve as headliners for all sessions.

NEXZ, a group under JYP Entertainment, will participate as support artists, alongside local musicians such as Andrés Oviedo, RNE, Bad Milk, Kay Lynch, Chaos, and Cocho. NEXZ is expected to back Stray Kids in each city, delivering high-energy performances that highlight the group’s signature strengths in stage presence.

Of particular note is Stray Kids’ appearance at “Rock in Rio” in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on September 11 — marking the first time a K-pop artist has headlined this festival. NEXZ will take the opening stage on the same day to kick off the event.

Last year, Stray Kids toured the world with the “dominATE” tour, performing 56 times in 35 different locations. They have previously headlined renowned international festivals including “Lollapalooza Paris” in France, “I Daze” in Italy, “British Summer Time Hyde Park” in the UK, and “Lollapalooza Chicago” in the U.S. Additionally, they held 8 stadium concerts in 5 Latin American cities in 2025 to further strengthen their fan base in the region.

JYP Entertainment has stated it plans to add more locations for “STRAYCITY,” while Stray Kids are also set to perform at the “Governors Ball Music Festival” in New York, USA, on June 6.
