Stray Kids has set a new benchmark in K-pop touring history with their dominATE World Tour, which concluded on July 30 at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico.
Spanning 340 days from August 24, 2024, in Seoul to its grand finale in Italy, the tour covered 54 concerts in 34 cities across Asia, Oceania, Latin America, North America, and Europe. The 8-member group traveled an astonishing 285,000 kilometers, roughly equivalent to circling the globe seven times.
The dominATE tour has not fully wrapped up though, it is expected that Stray Kids will hold encore concerts in Korea and Japan following the release of their fourth full album, KARMA, scheduled for Friday, August 22.
According to the latest Billboard Boxscore data, Stray Kids’ dominATE tour set new attendance and revenue benchmarks for K-pop artists across Europe, Latin America, and North America. In 2025, the Latin American leg included eight shows across countries such as Brazil, Chile, and Peru. These concerts sold 361,000 tickets and earned $41.1 million, making it the biggest K-pop tour in the region’s history.
In North America, Stray Kids performed 13 stadium shows in major cities including Chicago, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. This leg drew 491,000 fans and grossed $76.2 million. It sets a new record for the highest-grossing K-pop tour in the United States and Canada.
The European leg featured eight shows in cities like London, Madrid, and Paris, selling 391,000 tickets and earning $64.5 million, the largest K-pop tour ever in Europe.
The scale of these achievements is especially notable because 2025 was Stray Kids’ first time performing in Latin America and their first extensive run in Europe. Before this tour, they had played only one European concert, in Berlin in 2019, which sold 3,435 tickets and grossed $407,000.
During the dominATE tour, the group’s European concerts brought in an average of $8.1 million and drew 48,900 fans per show. This is almost 20 times the revenue of one of their earlier European performances.
Stray Kids’ North American success was equally significant. They have a stronger touring history in the United States and Canada compared to other regions, but the leap in scale was dramatic. By comparison, their Maniac World Tour in 2022–2023 earned $62.8 million from 546,395 tickets sold over 42 shows. Its North American legs brought in $29.1 million from 209,000 tickets.
In contrast, dominATE not only doubled those numbers but far exceeded them. Stray Kids’ latest world tour sold 1.3 million tickets and grossed $185.9 million from its 31 reported 2025 shows alone, without even counting revenue from the Asia and Oceania legs in 2024.
The success of the dominATE World Tour marks a defining moment for Stray Kids. They have expanded their reach far beyond their home base and proved their ability to fill stadiums and arenas worldwide.
From debut performances in South America to sold-out nights in Europe and record-breaking shows in North America, the group has set a new touring standard for K-pop.
Meanwhile, Stray Kids will drop their next release, KARMA, with lead single Ceremony on August 22.
