Stray Kids Proves K-Pop's Global Impact with Historic Concert in Paris

Stray Kids held two remarkable concerts at the Stade de France in Paris on July 26 and 27, 2025, showcasing the current state of K-Pop. The venue, which is the largest stadium in France, welcomed a total of 120,000 fans over the two nights, setting a record for the highest attendance by a domestic artist at the stadium.

The Stade de France, located in Saint-Denis, serves as the home ground for the French national football team and will also host the main events of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Stray Kids, a group that symbolizes the essence of K-Pop, made history at this iconic venue.

Angelo Gopee, CEO of Live Nation France, expressed his excitement, stating, "When Stray Kids took the stage at the Stade de France, the atmosphere was electric. It's rare to experience such a vibe in this venue. The connection between the fans and the artists was incredible." He described Stray Kids as "iconic," highlighting their unique ability to write and compose their own music, which adds a special touch to their performances.

When asked about the group's future, Gopee remarked, "Stray Kids is the fastest-growing K-Pop group, having debuted in 2018. Their future is bright, and I am confident they will remain number one in the hearts of fans worldwide, just as they do in album sales and concert performances."

Since their official debut in March 2018, Stray Kids transformed the Stade de France into their own territory by performing their debut song "District 9". The crowd sang along to numerous tracks created by the members, showcasing their powerful vocals and rap, along with a stunning visual presentation of their self-composed messages. The group's commanding stage presence, combined with the enthusiastic audience of 60,000, created a spectacular atmosphere enhanced by LED lights and sound effects.

Stray Kids is currently on their world tour "dominATE," which includes 54 performances across 34 locations, achieving unprecedented success in K-Pop. They will conclude the tour with a finale at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on July 30. Additionally, they are set to make a comeback with their fourth studio album "KARMA" on August 22 at 1 PM.
