With the declaration of a new chapter, Stray Kids has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for 2025 that promises to rewrite musical history. Through their annual "STEP OUT" video, the globally influential group revealed plans for concerts, music releases, collaborations, and fan-focused content. The dominATE World Tour is set to make history as the largest stadium tour by a K-pop act, while two upcoming albums could secure Stray Kids' place atop Billboard charts. Additionally, the group remains committed to maintaining close connections with fans through digital platforms and events.
Ambitious Live Performances: The dominATE World Tour
In 2025, Stray Kids will embark on the dominATE World Tour, which is poised to break records as the most extensive stadium tour by a K-pop act. With venues spanning Asia, the Americas, and Europe, the U.S. leg alone features 11 stadium shows, including landmark performances at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and Citi Field in New York City. This tour surpasses previous records set by other K-pop acts, solidifying Stray Kids' dominance in global live performances.
The dominATE World Tour began its journey at Seoul's KSPO Dome in August 2024 and will culminate with an encore performance in Korea. The tour's scale and scope highlight Stray Kids' growing influence and popularity worldwide. Fans can anticipate not only electrifying performances but also unique experiences that reflect the group's dedication to creating memorable moments. The success of this tour underscores Stray Kids' ability to connect with audiences on a global scale, setting a new benchmark for K-pop tours.
Musical Milestones and Fan Engagement
Beyond live performances, Stray Kids plans to release two albums in 2025, each with the potential to break chart records. If either album reaches No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the group will likely become the K-pop act with the most Number One albums in the U.S. Having tied BTS with six chart-toppers in December, Stray Kids now aim to extend their streak, making history as the only artist to debut seven or eight consecutive albums at the top of the chart.
In addition to their musical endeavors, Stray Kids remains deeply committed to engaging with fans through various digital platforms. The group's signature content showcases their sincerity and heartfelt storytelling, fostering intimate and honest connections. Events like the fifth official fanmeeting, SKZ 5'CLOCK, and continued collaborations with the SKZOO characters ensure that fans remain at the heart of Stray Kids' activities. As they push boundaries in K-pop, Stray Kids continue to prioritize strengthening the bond between artists and fans, reaffirming their promise that "you make Stray Kids stay."
