Stray Kids close the STRAYCITY run with back-to-back sold-out nights at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on September 25 and 26, capping a sixteen-day sprint across four countries. The Mexico finale was not on the original route as a doubleheader: organizers added the second date after the first night sold out in roughly ninety minutes, echoing the demand surge that also turned Buenos Aires into two shows.
The traveling Live Nation / JYP festival opened September 9 in Bogotá—the group’s Colombian debut—then hit Rock in Rio on September 11, where Stray Kids became the first K-pop act to headline the festival in its four-decade history before a crowd estimated near 100,000. Lightsticks were allowed into the venue for the first time, according to the group’s label. Buenos Aires followed with a Hipódromo de San Isidro debut that sold out in about three hours, prompting a second night on September 15. Mexico City support includes tour regulars NEXZ plus local acts Andrés Obregón and RENEE.
The same stadium already paid off in 2025, when a two-night dominATE stand grossed $13.8 million per Pollstar. That year’s wider tour pulled $185.38 million from more than 1.265 million tickets across 31 shows. Chart momentum stayed hot as well: SKZ IT TAPE ‘DO IT’, released November 21, 2025, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated December 6—the group’s eighth consecutive chart-topping album, a first in Billboard 200 history.
