Stray Kids have cemented their status as global music icons with two sold-out shows at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium on May 31st and June 1st, 2025. The back-to-back concerts were part of their world tour, "dominATE," and drew tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans, reaffirming the K-pop group's immense popularity and influence in North America.
Initially, only one show was planned for Los Angeles. However, due to overwhelming demand, a second date was added, highlighting the group's rapidly growing fanbase. SoFi Stadium, a venue renowned for hosting global superstars and major events like the upcoming 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, provided a fitting backdrop for Stray Kids' electrifying performances. The stadium has previously hosted legendary acts such as The Rolling Stones, BTS, and TWICE.
The concerts themselves were a spectacle of music and energy, with Stray Kids performing a total of 30 songs spanning their career. The setlist included everything from their debut track "District 9" to their latest release, "Giant," showcasing their evolution and versatility as artists. The three-hour show was filled with high-octane choreography, live vocals, and engaging interactions with the audience, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance. The massive venue featured a colossal circular screen suspended from the ceiling, adding to the immersive atmosphere. Fans responded with thunderous sing-alongs and cheers, filling the stadium with unparalleled energy and passion.
These SoFi Stadium shows mark a significant milestone for Stray Kids, who have become the first fourth-generation K-pop group to headline a solo concert at this iconic venue. This achievement underscores their remarkable growth and increasing prominence on the global stage. In 2023, Stray Kids performed at the smaller BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. Their return to the city in 2025, with a performance at SoFi Stadium boasting more than triple the capacity, demonstrates their exponential rise in popularity over the past two years.
Following their successful stint in Los Angeles, Stray Kids are set to continue their "dominATE" tour with upcoming shows at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on June 6th and 7th. With 55 shows across 34 cities, "dominATE" is Stray Kids' most extensive tour to date. The tour is expected to draw a total of 2.2 million attendees and could potentially set a new record as the most attended K-pop tour by a single group when it concludes in Rome on July 30th.
During the concert, the members expressed their sincere appreciation to their fans, known as STAYs. They shared heartfelt messages, stating, "Thank you to every STAY who came tonight. We're so happy to give back the love and joy you've given us. This moment is all thanks to you. We've been feeling incredibly grateful throughout this tour.” These words reflect the strong bond between Stray Kids and their fans, who have been instrumental in their journey to global stardom.
