Stray Kids Launch 'STRAYCITY' Festival Series in Latin America
2026년 9월 9일
Stray Kids have launched 'STRAYCITY,' a new Latin American music festival series developed by JYP Entertainment and Live Nation. Built around the group’s identity and performance style, the series opened in Bogotá, Colombia, on September 9th. Following the Bogotá event, 'STRAYCITY' will continue with two shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on September 14th and 15th, followed by two dates in Mexico City on September 25th and 26th. Stray Kids headline every show, with NEXZ and a rotating lineup of local artists joining selected dates. The project is designed as more than a standard concert tour. Its festival-style production brings together Stray Kids’ performances, supporting artists, and locally tailored lineups, while leaving room for additional host cities in the future. Between the 'STRAYCITY' dates, Stray Kids are also scheduled to headline Brazil’s Rock in Rio on September 11th. They will become the first K-pop act both to perform at and headline the long-running Brazilian festival. The milestone adds to the group’s growing international festival record, which includes appearances at Lollapalooza Paris, I-Days Milano, BST Hyde Park, Lollapalooza Chicago, and Governors Ball in New York. Their 2025 'dominATE' world tour also strengthened their presence in Latin America through a series of large-scale stadium concerts. Stray Kids recently extended another major record with their mini album 'THIS & THAT.' The release debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming their ninth consecutive album to enter the chart at the top. They are the first artist in Billboard 200 history whose first nine charting albums all debuted at No. 1. By combining their own festival concept with major international headline appearances, Stray Kids are expanding their touring model beyond a conventional world tour and strengthening their connection with audiences across Latin America.
