“Thousands of Nachimbongs — Stray Kids’ official light sticks — illuminated the stands, creating a warm vibe,” as the global group launched the next chapter of their stadium touring plans.
Stray Kids announced the North American and European legs of their 2027 ‘RUN IT’ World Tour, a 21-date run across major football venues. The tour opens May 16, 2027, at Lumen Field in Seattle and makes 14 stops before closing June 29 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, according to Yahoo Entertainment.
JYP Entertainment announced Monday that Stray Kids will add 25 shows in 23 cities across Japan, North America, and Europe to the Run It World Tour, raising the total to 46 concerts in 31 cities through July 31, 2027. The U.S. and Canada legs make up the bulk of the tour, featuring 14 cities over the course of 90 days, stretching from the Pacific Northwest to the Eastern Seaboard.
Confirmed stops include Seattle, Vancouver, Santa Clara, San Diego, Los Angeles, Arlington, Houston, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Chicago, Baltimore, Toronto, and East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The upcoming North American routing transitions seven of the ten returning markets from ballparks to football stadiums, while SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Camping World Stadium in Orlando, and Rogers Stadium in Toronto carry over from the group’s previous tour. The agency said that many of the shows will be solo concerts at major stadiums.
Global Stadium Itinerary
The European leg begins July 9, 2027, in Paris at the Plenitude Arena and wraps up July 31 at Milan’s San Siro Stadium, with additional European stops including Munich’s Allianz Arena, Vienna’s Ernst-Happel-Stadion, Barcelona’s Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, and the GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands. Before crossing the Pacific, the group also performed across Japan with dome and stadium dates in Tokyo — including three nights at Tokyo Dome in November — plus stops in Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, before heading to Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong, Taipei Dome, and two-night stands in Bangkok and Singapore.
These live milestones build on the group’s headline appearances at BST Hyde Park in London and Lollapalooza Chicago in 2024, their record-breaking world tour that ended in 2025, and their historic headline performance at Rock in Rio, where they became both the first K-pop act to headline the festival and the first K-pop act ever to perform at the event.
In 2026, the group further expanded its worldwide presence with headline appearances at New York’s Governors Ball Music Festival and Brazil’s Rock in Rio, while also launching STRAYCITY, a new festival series that drew 270,000 fans across five shows in three Latin American cities.
The remaining seven members—Bang Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N—will continue the tour.
Record-Breaking Release
The stadium tour supports the group’s tenth Korean-language EP, THIS & THAT, which was released on August 7 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming their ninth consecutive album to reach the top of the U.S. chart. The project features eight tracks produced entirely by in-house unit 3RACHA, featuring members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, who lead the creation of the majority of the group’s discography.
Through these releases, the group holds nine consecutive number 1 albums on the Billboard 200, making them the group with the most Billboard 200 No. 1 albums of the 21st century. In 2026, Stray Kids also earned six new RIAA certifications across their catalog, including platinum certification for “God’s Menu” and gold certifications for Karma, “Lalalala,” “Chk Boom,” “S-Class,” and “Case 143.” Furthermore, the group earned its third platinum certification in Japan for “S-Class.”
The group’s previous world tour wrapped in 2025 after 56 shows across 35 cities. Among those 2025 dates, the group sold out the Stade de France two nights in a row on July 26 and 27, drawing 120,000 total spectators to set an attendance record for a Korean artist at the venue and mark the largest concerts ever given by a K-pop group in France.
“The STAYs — as Stray Kids’ fans are known — performed some of the choreographies along with the group, as the stadium roared to the rhythm of hits like ‘TOPLINE’…’Bounce Back’…’DOMINO,’ ‘Thunderous’ and ‘DIVINE.’ Each track was synchronized with the moves of the dancers accompanying the idols,” as noted in tour reports covering the group’s live performances.
