Global K-pop sensation Stray Kids took Los Angeles by storm on May 31 as they kicked off the U.S. leg of their highly anticipated “dominATE” World Tour at SoFi Stadium. The concert, dubbed “D1” (Day 1), saw tens of thousands of STAYs (Stray Kids fans) gather for an explosive night of music, choreography, and production magic.
From the moment the lights dimmed, the eight-member group commanded the stage with fierce charisma. Opening with tracks from their 2024 EP ATE and their 2025 mixtape Mixtape: Dominate, the performance showcased their musical versatility, blending intense rap breaks, emotional ballads, and genre-defying beats. Fan-favorite songs like “Thunderous,” “S-Class,” and the iconic “God’s Menu” had the crowd roaring in unison.
One of the most talked-about moments of the night was Felix’s electrifying deep-voiced rap that reverberated through the stadium during “God’s Menu.” The group also delivered a stirring acoustic performance of “Lonely St.” that transformed the stadium into a sea of phone lights and unified voices.
Social media buzzed with excitement under trending hashtags like #dominATE_LosAngeles and #StrayKidsInUSA, with fans praising the concert’s high-energy set, mesmerizing visuals, and flawless choreography.
“It was more than just a concert — it was a full-scale experience,” said a fan outside the venue. “They gave everything on that stage, and you could feel the love in every performance.”
The massive production featured multi-level stages, pyrotechnics, and synchronized visual effects that elevated the night to arena-concert perfection. Security and event flow were well-managed, though fans were advised not to arrive before sunrise due to parking and safety concerns in the Inglewood area.
Stray Kids’ dominATE World Tour is slated to hit major cities across North America, Europe, and Asia, following the success of their recent releases. The mixtape Mixtape: Dominate includes standout tracks like “Giant,” “Cinema,” and “Burnin’ Tires,” showcasing the group’s continued growth and bold artistic vision.
With LA’s D1 in the books, anticipation is already building for upcoming stops — and if this show is any indication, Stray Kids are truly ready to dominate the global stage.
