Stray Kids are making history with their <dominATE> World Tour, smashing records across Latin America, North America, and Europe. So far, it’s the biggest K-pop tour ever.

The eight-member South Korean group kicked off the stadium run back in March with two sold-out shows in Santiago, Chile. From there, they hit some of the world’s biggest venues – SoFi Stadium in LA, Citi Field in New York, Stade de France in Paris – and wrapped up with a sold-out finale in Rome’s Stadio Olimpico.

The numbers speak volumes: in Latin America alone, eight shows sold 361,000 tickets and pulled in $41.1 million – more than any other K-pop artist on a single Latin American tour. In North America, 13 shows attracted 491,000 fans and grossed $76.2 million, making it the highest-grossing K-pop tour leg there. Europe was no different, with eight shows across cities like London, Madrid, and Paris bringing in 391,000 attendees and $64.5 million – the biggest European run for a K-pop act ever.

Billboard reports that, from the 31 shows out of 54 completed so far, Stray Kids have sold a staggering 1.3 million tickets worldwide and earned $186 million. It’s a clear sign they’ve cemented themselves as global superstars.

The tour setlist highlighted tracks from their Billboard 200 No. 1 albums ATE and HOP, along with fan favorites like “MANIAC” and “God’s Menu.” Each nearly three-hour show was a spectacle, featuring powerful openers like “MOUNTAINS,” intense mid-set songs like “DOMINO” and “Back Door,” and energetic encores including “MIROH.” Fans also got rotating sub-unit performances that let each member showcase their unique style.

All this was supported by a stadium-scale production packed with towering LED screens, lasers, fireworks, and choreography that perfectly matched the group’s high-energy sound.

Stray Kids have been building on the momentum from their previous sold-out world tour MANIAC and major festival performances worldwide. This tour is the clearest indicator yet of just how far they’ve come – and how much bigger K-pop tours can get.
