WASHINGTON, D.C. — South Korean supergroup Stray Kids launched their highly anticipated “dominATE” World Tour with a dynamic performance at Nationals Park on June 23, 2025, captivating a sold-out crowd of over 40,000 fans. The event marked the group’s first-ever stadium concert in the U.S. capital and set the tone for what promises to be their most ambitious global tour to date.
The eight-member ensemble—Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N—delivered a high-octane set that combined fan favorites with fresh material from their latest releases. The show opened with the thunderous “MANIAC,” immediately igniting the crowd, and seamlessly transitioned into hits like “God’s Menu,” “CASE 143,” and “MIROH.” The group also showcased new tracks such as “Chk Chk Boom” and the emotionally charged “Hollow,” the lead single from their recently released Japanese EP of the same name.
The stage design was a visual spectacle, featuring expansive LED screens, pyrotechnics, and intricate choreography that highlighted the group’s dynamic performance style. Each member had moments to shine, with sub-unit performances adding depth to the concert experience. Notably, the show included solo stages that allowed individual members to connect with the audience on a more personal level.
The “dominATE” World Tour supports Stray Kids’ latest musical endeavors, including their Japanese EP “Hollow,” released on June 18, 2025, and their mixtape “Hop,” which dropped in December 2024. These projects have expanded the group’s musical repertoire, blending genres and showcasing their versatility as artists.
Following the Washington, D.C. performance, Stray Kids are set to continue their North American leg with shows at iconic venues such as Wrigley Field in Chicago on June 26 and Rogers Centre in Toronto on June 29. The tour will then proceed to Europe, with performances scheduled in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Paris, and Rome, concluding on July 30, 2025.
The “dominATE” World Tour is projected to be Stray Kids’ most expansive tour yet, encompassing 54 shows across six continents. Industry analysts estimate that the tour will attract over 2.2 million attendees worldwide, setting a new benchmark for K-pop acts on the global stage.
Fans and critics alike have lauded the tour’s kickoff, praising the group’s energy, stage presence, and the seamless integration of new and classic material. As Stray Kids continue their global journey, they solidify their status as one of the leading acts in the international music scene.
