Few genres enjoyed success in 2023 quite like K-pop, which saw the continuation of the meteoric rise of bands like BTS and BLACKPINK. Also proving themselves a mainstay in K-pop and beyond is the South Korean boy band Stray Kids, whose most recent album, ROCK-STAR, arrived in November of 2023.
Now with another music project under their belts and with their popularity only continuing to rise, the question on everyone’s lips has been: Is there a Stray Kids World Tour in 2024?
Is there a Stray Kids World Tour 2024?
It looks likely that Stray Kids will embark on a tour sometime in 2024, at least according to a report by the band’s longtime label, JYP Entertainment. The label, which is also home to fellow K-pop artists like Twice and Day 6, released an annual report that confirmed their plans to launch a global stadium tour for Stray Kids in 2024.
As of Jan. 1, 2024, Stray Kids has also teased plans for an upcoming world tour. They released a video where the band looked back on their 2023 achievements, as well as their plans for the new year. In the video, the band not only hinted at a tour but also two new albums.
Has Stray Kids gone on tour before?
If it comes to fruition, Stray Kids’ 2024 world tour will mark their fourth concert tour overall, having performed concerts internationally since 2019. That year, Stray Kids embarked upon their debut run of global shows, titled the District 9: Unlock World Tour. That jaunt saw the boy band perform dates in their home country as well as shows in New York, Dallas, Miami, and Los Angeles.
Stray Kids’ second world tour, launched in support of their 2022 EPs Oddinary and Circus, expanded their run of dates to include shows in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, as well as Japan and the US. Stray Kids’ most recent tour, dubbed the 5-Star Dome Tour, ran from August to October of 2023, and only included shows in Japan and South Korea.
The dates and locations of Stray Kids’ previous tours might provide insight into where the band will be heading in 2024, especially since JYP Entertainment described their imminent jaunt as global. In any case, fans will have to await further information from the label or Stray Kids, and stream ROCK-STAR in the meantime.
