Stray Kids Make History Again: First-Ever Korean Stadium Concert Sells Out Instantly

Stray Kids have done it again. The global K-pop powerhouse has once again proven their immense popularity by completely selling out their first-ever solo stadium concert in South Korea.

On October 18th and 19th, Stray Kids will take over the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium for their highly anticipated encore concert, Stray Kids World Tour . When tickets went on sale, both the fan club pre-sale and the general sale were met with overwhelming demand, leading to an instant sell-out for both dates. For STAYs around the world, this is a monumental achievement and a testament to the group’s incredible growth.

From Arenas to Stadiums: A Testament to Their Growth

Entering a stadium is a major milestone for any artist, and it’s a goal Stray Kids has been steadily working towards. Their journey to this point has been remarkable:

2022: They filled the KSPO Dome with their “MANIAC” Seoul Special concert.
2023: They conquered the Gocheok Sky Dome with their “5-STAR Dome Tour” Seoul Special.

Now, in 2025, they are finally stepping onto a domestic stadium stage, a venue reserved for only the biggest acts. This progression clearly visualizes their explosive rise in the K-pop industry.

The Grand Finale: ‘dominATE : celebrATE’

This upcoming concert is more than just a show; it’s a celebration. The title, a clever combination of their massive world tour and their 2024 mini-album ‘ATE’, signifies a grand finale.

The tour was their largest to date, spanning an incredible 54 shows across 34 regions. The tour began in Seoul in August 2024 and took them all over the world, culminating in a final stop in Rome in July 2025. This two-day encore in Incheon is a triumphant homecoming, a ceremony to celebrate the countless records and achievements they’ve collected over the past year.

Fueled by Record-Breaking Success with ‘KARMA’

This stadium-sized success is powered by their recent record-shattering comeback. Their 4th full-length album, ‘KARMA’, released in August, has been a commercial juggernaut.

Most notably, ‘KARMA’ debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. This marked Stray Kids’ seventh consecutive album to achieve this feat. In the 70-year history of the Billboard 200, Stray Kids are the first and only artist to have seven consecutive albums debut at the number one spot. The album has also shown incredible longevity, remaining in the top 10 for three consecutive weeks, proving their sustained popularity.

Stray Kids continue to push boundaries and set new records, not just for themselves but for K-pop as a whole. Selling out their first stadium concert is another historic moment in their unstoppable journey.
