K-pop's Stray Kids to take 'RUN IT' tour to North America and Europe in 2027

In 2027, the K-pop boy band Stray Kids will embark on a world tour, performing in major venues across North America and Europe. The North American leg of the tour begins on May 16, 2027, in Seattle, with additional shows in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Barcelona, and a season finale at the San Siro Stadium in Milan. Stray Kids will also play on a series of stadiums in Asia as part of their extended "RUN IT" world tour, according to promoter Live Nation Entertainment Inc. Lead member Bang Chan expressed his excitement about the opportunity to perform for fans in various regions and emphasized the band's openness to future collaborations, mentioning the Sydney-based hip-hop collective 1300 as a potential creative partner.

The group's upcoming tour comes after they set several commercial milestones in 2026, including becoming the first act to have all nine of its chart entries reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with their mini-album "THIS & THAT." The tour will feature larger venues than the 2025 tour, and lead member Bang Chan and drummer Felix expressed nostalgia for Sydney, where they both grew up, and shared their desire to perform for fans in the city.

Despite the packed tour schedule, member Hyunjin expressed his hope for some downtime at Christmas, including a walk through the snow listening to carols and a quiet evening in an outdoor cafe with a cup of hot chocolate topped with marshmallows.
