  • K-pop group Stray Kids will be the first foreign male artists to headline at Japan's Tokyo National Stadium.
  • The concerts on August 29-30 are the first Japanese dates of their 'RUN IT' world tour, with further dome shows planned across Japan.
  • The group recently achieved their ninth No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 with their mini-album 'THIS & THAT' and are set to release a Japanese mini-album in November.

K-pop sensation Stray Kids are poised to make history as the first foreign male artists to perform at the iconic Tokyo National Stadium. The group will headline the venue on August 29 and 30 as part of their new world tour, 'RUN IT'.

This landmark achievement underscores Stray Kids' immense global popularity and their rapidly ascending status in the international music scene. Following a sold-out concert in Seoul in July, the group is embarking on a Japanese dome tour that will include stops in Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, with an estimated 370,000 fans expected to attend across the country.

The group's recent success includes their ninth No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart with their mini-album 'THIS & THAT', setting a new record for the most No. 1 albums by a 21st-century group. They are also preparing to release their fourth Japanese mini-album, 'SUIATSU', on November 25.

Stray Kids' global ambitions extend beyond Japan, with upcoming headline performances at Brazil's 'Rock in Rio' festival in September and the new Latin American festival 'STRAYCITY'. Since their debut in 2018, the group has released numerous hit songs and consistently broken records, including eight consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200.
