Stray Kids Make History with Record-Breaking North American Stadium Tour Finale in Toronto

Stray Kids has successfully concluded their North American stadium tour with a landmark concert at Toronto’s newly opened Rogers Stadium, making history as the first act to perform at the venue. This event marked the finale of their expansive ‘Stray Kids World Tour,’ which featured 13 shows across 10 cities.

The June 29 concert in Toronto set a new milestone as the largest K-pop concert ever held in Canada, drawing up to 50,000 fans. Rogers Stadium, which opened earlier that month, will soon welcome other major artists like Coldplay and Oasis.

The group opened the show with their powerful track “MOUNTAINS,” followed by a dynamic setlist including hits from their Billboard 200 No.1 albums, fan favorites, and special unit performances from their digital single ‘Mixtape: dominATE.’

Expressing their gratitude, Stray Kids said, “Wrapping up our North American tour in Toronto with a full stadium of STAYs was incredibly touching. We’re so thankful for the chance to perform on such grand stages and for the love that lit up the night.”

Beginning May 24 in Seattle, the tour reinforced Stray Kids’ status as global stadium headliners. They made history by being the first K-pop artists to perform at key venues such as Seattle’s T-Mobile Park, Orlando’s Camping World Stadium, Washington D.C.’s Nationals Park, Chicago’s Wrigley Field, and Toronto’s Rogers Stadium. They also made a record as the first artist to hold consecutive shows at Arlington’s Globe Life Field.

In addition, Stray Kids became the first K-pop boy group to sell out San Francisco’s Oracle Park, earning significant media coverage from ABC, CBS, and top California news outlets. Iconic landmarks including New York’s Empire State Building and Chicago’s Willis Tower Skydeck illuminated in the group’s signature red in celebration of their achievements.

After their initial North American stadium appearance in Los Angeles in March 2023, Stray Kids returned within two years to pack major stadiums across ten cities, underscoring their growing global influence.

Next, the group is set to launch their first European stadium tour, starting July 11 at Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff Arena, with stops in six cities and eight shows in total.
