Stray Kids Are About to Become the First Overseas Male Act to Headline Japan's National Stadium Alone
Stray Kids play two shows at Japan National Stadium in Tokyo on Aug. 29 and 30, becoming the first overseas male act to headline the 68,000-capacity venue independently. The stop is part of "World Tour <RUN IT> JAPAN," the Japanese leg of the group's fourth world tour.
Show details:
- Aug. 29 (Sat) and Aug. 30 (Sun) - Japan National Stadium (MUFG Stadium), Tokyo
- Lineup: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N
- Tour: "World Tour <RUN IT>," in support of the June single "RUN IT" and the Aug. 7 mini album "This & That"
- Industry projections put total attendance across Stray Kids' full run of Japan shows this cycle at up to 370,000 fans
TWICE became the first K-pop act of any kind to headline the stadium in April, drawing roughly 240,000 fans across three nights. Stray Kids' two-night run adds a narrower distinction: the first time an overseas male group has sold the venue out on its own, without a co-headliner.
Tickets:
Japan ticketing for this show ran through the country's standard lottery system rather than a straightforward on-sale - official fan club ballots first, followed by general lotteries through local vendors including Lawson Ticket and e+. Those windows have already closed ahead of the show date. Fans without a ticket at this point should check Lawson Ticket and e+ directly for any late-release or day-of inventory, which Japanese venues sometimes open in the final days before a show. Entry requires ID matching the ticket holder's name - Japan's anti-scalping system voids tickets that don't match, so buying through unofficial resale channels carries real risk of being turned away at the gate.
The Tokyo shows sit inside a broader Asia leg that opened with five nights at Seoul's KSPO Dome in late July and continues through Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore into the fall, with North American and European dates expected to follow based on the pattern of the group's prior "dominATE" tour, which grossed roughly $185.7 million across 56 shows.
From Tokyo, the tour's next confirmed stop is Vantelin Dome Nagoya on Sept. 5 and 6.
