Stray Kids made their debut in Europe with a solo concert at the Johan Cruyff Arena, becoming the first Asian artist to enter and sell out the venue, and creating the largest K-pop performance in Dutch history.
Stray Kids held a solo concert on July 11 (local time) at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands, as part of their world tour 'Stray Kids World Tour 'dominATE'' . This marks the starting point of their first European tour, consisting of eight performances across six regions, and the solo concert in Amsterdam garnered explosive interest from local fans. The concert not only achieved a complete sell-out but was also the largest K-pop concert ever held in the Netherlands.
The Johan Cruyff Arena, where the concert took place, is known as the main stadium for the Netherlands national football team and is considered the largest stadium in the country. Stray Kids became the first Asian artist to hold a solo concert at this venue, where global musicians such as Michael Jackson, Céline Dion, Madonna, and Coldplay have performed, reaffirming their strong global influence.
Stray Kids kicked off the concert with the track 'MOUNTAINS' from their mini album 'ATE'. They performed a parade of their representative songs including 'Sori Kkun', 'Back Door', 'Chk Chk Boom', '神메뉴', 'Teuk', 'MANIAC', and more. With a rich setlist of over 30 songs, including the title track from their album that topped the Billboard 200 chart, and the unit song from the digital single 'Mixtape: dominATE', they heated up the现场 to its peak.
A vibrant live band, explosive performances, and diverse stage productions created a spectacular scene, and the audience responded with enthusiastic cheers. Concluding the performance amidst the loud applause, Stray Kids expressed their excitement, saying, "We are happy and honored to start our European tour in Amsterdam. It feels like we are receiving a lot of love from many STAY (fandom name) in this large venue, and today's performance will be deeply engraved in our hearts." The members responded to the love from fans, who supported them until the end, with encore performances of 'Chk Chk Boom (Festival ver.)' and 'Wi In Jeon'.
Meanwhile, following performances in Latin America and North America, Stray Kids' first European tour will continue with shows in Frankfurt on the 15th, London on the 18th and 19th, Madrid on the 22nd, and Paris on the 26th and 27th, culminating in Rome on the 30th with their largest world tour yet.
