K-pop sensation Stray Kids has officially kicked off their highly anticipated new world tour, titled "Run Out," commencing with a series of five shows at the KSPO Dome in Seoul. This marks the beginning of an extensive global journey for the popular boy group, following their previous record-breaking tour, "Dominate."

The tour will see Stray Kids performing across Asia and beyond. Notably, they are set to make history by becoming the first foreign male artists to headline the 80,000-capacity Tokyo National Stadium in Japan. Their Japanese leg includes multiple dates in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, with further concerts planned in Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok, and Singapore. The group anticipates drawing approximately 370,000 fans from their seven scheduled concerts in Japan alone.

Adding to the excitement, Stray Kids will release a new digital single, also named "Run Out," on July 24th. This track is described as encapsulating the group's expansive energy as they solidify their unique presence in the global music market. Following this, a new mini-album titled "This & That" is slated for release on August 7th.

Beyond their tour, Stray Kids continues to make waves on the international festival circuit. Having recently captivated a crowd of over 45,000 at the Governors Ball Music Festival in New York, they are scheduled to headline major festivals like "Rock in Rio" in Brazil and their own newly created festival, "Straycity," in Latin America later this year. Their packed schedule highlights their growing global influence and demand.
