The group Stray Kids held a total of two large-scale stadium concerts in São Paulo, setting a record as the first K-pop artist to enter.

Stray Kids has been successfully conducting their 'Stray Kids World Tour 'dominATE'' since starting in August last year at the Seoul KSPO DOME, staging 55 performances across 34 regions worldwide as 'the largest scale' tour. On the 5th and 6th (local time), they held solo concerts in São Paulo, marking a turning point in their heightened world tour performances in Latin America.

São Paulo was also the first region that Stray Kids visited for a solo performance since their debut, drawing explosive interest and expectations from fans. Evidencing this, although they initially planned to hold a performance on the 5th only, tickets sold out, leading to the addition of a concert on the 6th, attracting about 120,000 enthusiastic attendees over two days.

The giant stadium where the performance was held, 'Estádio do Morumbi,' is the home ground of the local soccer team São Paulo FC, having previously hosted renowned world stars such as U2, Metallica, Madonna, Coldplay, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga. Stray Kids has reinforced their powerful global popularity by being the 'first K-pop artist' to hold a solo concert at this venue.



'MANIAC', 'Special', 'Music', 'Chk Chk Boom', 'Walkin On Water', and other title tracks from albums that topped the U.S. 'Billboard 200' chart, along with the group's representative hits, were showcased, particularly exciting fans with the performance of the unit song included in the digital single 'Mixtape : dominATE' released on March 21. Moreover, the smoke bomb performance, alongside dazzling fireworks lighting up the night sky, infused the night in São Paulo with passion and romance.

Wrapping up their meaningful first solo concert in São Paulo, the members expressed, 'Thank you so much for waiting for a long time. It feels even more overwhelming to receive the love of STAY (fandom name) by coming here. Singing in front of you makes me feel happy and gives my life meaning. I hope you always feel happy listening to our songs. It was so much fun, and thank you for creating an unbelievable moment. I will not forget it.'

Making a colossal mark in Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, Stray Kids will conclude their Latin America performances in Lima on the 9th and in Mexico City on the 12th and 13th, displaying their might as a global stadium artist. Having made history as the 'first K-pop artist' to enter Estádio do Morumbi, Stray Kids will hold a solo concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in July, raising the group's stature. They are expected to attract a total of 2.2 million spectators through the 'dominATE' tour, setting a record for the largest audience in K-pop history for a single tour.
