Historic Opening Performance Caps North American Stadium Tour

K-pop group Stray Kids concluded their North American stadium tour with a groundbreaking performance at Toronto's Rogers Stadium on June 29th, becoming the first artist to perform at the newly opened venue. 

According to JYP Entertainment on July 2nd, the Toronto concert marked the finale of Stray Kids' 'dominATE' world tour's North American leg, which spanned 13 shows across 10 cities. The Toronto performance represents the largest K-pop concert ever held in Canada. 

Breaking Records at Brand-New Venue 

Rogers Stadium, a purpose-built concert venue with a capacity of 50,000, officially opened last month with Stray Kids as its inaugural headliner. The venue is set to host major international acts including Coldplay and Oasis in the coming months. 

The group opened their show with the epic "Mountains" before delivering a diverse setlist featuring Billboard 200 chart-topping album tracks, signature hits, and unit songs from their digital single "Mixtape: dominATE." 

Emotional Farewell to North American Fans 

During the concert, the members expressed their gratitude, stating: "We're truly happy to conclude our North American tour here in Toronto. We were deeply moved to see so many STAYs filling the venue. Thanks to our fans, we were able to hold such a grand performance. Thank you for lighting up Toronto with such brilliant energy tonight."
