Stray Kids have officially ignited global excitement by confirming their massive 2026 “World Domination” Tour, a project that marks their most ambitious live run to date. After months of speculation and cryptic hints dropped during recent performances and livestreams, the group finally unveiled a sweeping world tour that reflects just how far their influence has spread. The announcement instantly sent fans into a frenzy, with timelines lighting up across continents as STAYs began counting down to what promises to be a defining chapter in the group’s career.
The tour is set to kick off in Asia, with opening shows scheduled for March 14–16, 2026, at Seoul Olympic Stadium in South Korea. From there, Stray Kids will move to Japan for back-to-back dome concerts, including Tokyo Dome on March 25–26 and Kyocera Dome Osaka on March 30–31. These opening dates are expected to set the tone for the entire tour, blending the group’s explosive performance style with large-scale production designed specifically for stadium and arena settings.
North America follows in April, starting with a highly anticipated stop at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 12, 2026. The group will then head to Oakland (April 15), Seattle (April 18), Chicago (April 23), Toronto (April 26), and New York City at MetLife Stadium on April 30. Industry insiders are already calling this leg a major milestone, as Stray Kids become one of the few K-pop acts to headline multiple stadium-sized venues across the region.
Europe takes center stage in May, beginning at London’s Wembley Stadium on May 9, 2026. Additional dates include Paris at Stade de France on May 13, Berlin’s Olympiastadion on May 17, Amsterdam on May 20, and Madrid on May 24. These shows reflect the group’s rapidly growing European fanbase and signal a clear step up from previous arena tours to full-scale stadium spectacles.
The tour continues into Oceania, with shows confirmed in Sydney at Accor Stadium on June 6 and Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on June 10. These dates are particularly significant, as they mark Stray Kids’ first stadium-level performances in Australia, underscoring the global reach of their music and the demand for larger venues.
In late June, the group heads to Latin America, beginning with Mexico City’s Foro Sol on June 21, followed by São Paulo at Allianz Parque on June 25 and Santiago at Estadio Nacional on June 29. These stops have been long requested by fans in the region, and the announcement was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, with many calling it overdue recognition of Latin America’s passionate STAY community.
The Middle East and Africa leg arrives in July, featuring a groundbreaking show at Dubai’s Al Maktoum Stadium on July 11 and a major concert in Johannesburg at FNB Stadium on July 18. These dates mark new territory for the group and reflect a broader push to truly make the tour global rather than focusing only on traditional markets.
Production-wise, “World Domination” is being described as Stray Kids’ most immersive live experience yet. Fans can expect extended setlists, rearranged versions of fan-favorite tracks, powerful live band elements, and visually striking stage designs that reflect the group’s signature intensity and self-produced sound. Members have hinted that the tour will showcase both their evolution as artists and their raw energy as performers.
Ticket sales are expected to roll out in phases, with fan club presales beginning in December 2025 and general sales opening shortly after. Given the scale of the venues and the group’s current momentum, many dates are projected to sell out within minutes, making early access crucial for fans hoping to attend.
As 2026 approaches, the “World Domination” Tour is shaping up to be more than just a series of concerts—it’s a statement. Stray Kids are clearly positioning themselves at the forefront of global pop culture, ready to take on the world stage with confidence, creativity, and the unmistakable intensity that has defined their rise. For fans across cities and continents, this tour represents a shared moment in time that is set to be unforgettable.
