Stray Kids met 270,000 Latin American spectators through 'STRAYCITY', a new festival bearing the group's name.

JYP Entertainment and the American concert promoter Live Nation planned this festival with Stray Kids as the headliners.

The performances began on September 9 in Bogotá, Colombia, moved through Buenos Aires, Argentina on the 14th and 15th, and concluded on September 25 and 26 in Mexico City, Mexico.

According to JYP Entertainment, this schedule led to five performances across three regions in Latin America, gathering a total of 270,000 people and drawing massive crowds at every session.

Stray Kids led sing-alongs with representative songs such as 'MANIAC' and 'Thunderous', and the audience embraced 'STRAYCITY' as a new performance experience.

JYP Entertainment stated that this festival was planned based on headlining experiences at large-scale festivals such as their world tour and 'Lollapalooza Paris', 'Lollapalooza Chicago', 'I-Days', 'BST Hyde Park', and 'The Governors Ball Music Festival'.

Furthermore, it was explained that Bang Chan holds 245 copyright-registered songs, the "most for a K-pop idol" according to KOMCA, while Changbin and HAN ranked in the top 10 for K-pop idol copyright registrations with 210 and 207 songs, respectively.

JYP Entertainment added that Stray Kids has stepped up as "global top artists" as the charms and talents of the eight members, including Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix, SEUNGMIN, and I.N, are added.

Meanwhile, as part of their 2025 world tour, Stray Kids gathered approximately 400,000 people at 8 stadium performances in 5 Latin American cities, and on September 11, they rose as the first K-pop artist headliner at 'Rock in Rio' in Brazil, drawing 100,000 spectators.

The American Billboard evaluated this stage, saying, "Could there be such a perfect (Rock in Rio) debut. It was historic, intense, and made one want more."

Stray Kids continued their presence by standing before a total of 370,000 people in Latin America in September 2026.
