Background and promotion

Stray Kids uploaded the video "Step Out 2024" to their social media on January 1, 2024, outlining their accomplishments in 2023 and plans for the next year, including a world tour.^[1] In May, during Stray Kids and American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger interview at the 2024 Met Gala, Hilfiger accidentally revealed that the group would go on a 40-city tour.^[2] Later, they confirmed the tour during an appearance at Good Morning America a few days later.^[3]

The world tour, titled Dominate, was formally announced on July 8, alongside the first Asia and Australia leg shows from August 2024 to January 2025, as well as teasing the upcoming shows in Latin America, North America, and Europe.^[4] According to JYP Entertainment, the tour title "Dominate" referred to "Stray Kids' unique ambition and determination as 'global top artists' who will dominate the stage."^[5] On November 19, the group added the addition 20 tour dates across Latin America, North America, and Europe from March to July 2025.^[6] The show at Rogers Stadium in Toronto marked the group the first ever act to perform at the venue.^[7] Due to overwhelming demand, additional show dates for New York, Los Angeles, and Mexico City were added on November 23,^[8][9] and London, Paris, Santiago, and São Paulo four days later.^[10][11]

Stray Kids uploaded the video "Step Out 2025" to their social media on January 6, 2025. It outlined their accomplishments in 2024 and plans for the next year, revealing that the group would held the upcoming encore concert in Seoul in 2025.^[12] On January 30, Stray Kids announced additional dates for Arlington and Madrid (the latter being subsequently cancelled),^[13] and added two new stops, which are four dates for Shizuoka, Japan and one date for Rome, Italy.^[14]

To commemorate the Dominate World Tour, Stray Kids and nonprofit organization Musicians on Call lighted the Empire State Building to celebrate the healing power of music.^[15] The band also collaborated with Tottenham Hotspur F.C. for limited-edition jersey.^[16]

Concert synopsis

A stage of Dominate World Tour inaugural concert at Rogers Stadium, Toronto.

The Dominate show is around three hours long,^[17] beginning with Stray Kids, wearing beige and white glittering outfits inspired by Greek and Roman draping, performing "Mountains", "Thunderous", and "Jjam".^[18] Following the group welcoming to the concerts, it is continued by "District 9", and "Back Door", which the latter utilizes rollable doors on the stage.^[17] It is followed by four members premiering each of their then-unreleased tracks: Han's "Hold My Hand", Lee Know's "Youth", Seungmin's "As We Are", and Hyunjin's "So Good".^[18]

In the second act, the group arrives to the stage in a black classic car to perform "Chk Chk Boom", "Topline", "Super Bowl", "Comflex", "Lalalala", "Twilight", "Lonely St.", and the Korean version of "Social Path".^[17] The show continues by the other four members' solos: Bang Chan's "Railway", I.N's "Hallucination", Felix's "Unfair", and Changbin's "Ultra".^[18] The final act includes "Get Lit", "Item", "Domino", "God's Menu", "S-Class", "Venom", and concludes with "Maniac".^[19] Stray Kids end the concert with an encore from "I Like It", "Case 143", "My Pace", "Stray Kids", "Miroh", the Festival version of "Chk Chk Boom", "Star Lost", and "Haven".^[20]

Starting in Latin American leg, Stray Kids revamped the setlist in March 2025, including some songs such as "Giant" (Korean version), "Walkin on Water", and sub-unit tracks—Changbin and I.N's "Burnin' Tires", Han and Felix's "Truman", Bang Chan and Hyunjin's "Escape", and Lee Know and Seungmin's "Cinema"—replacing individual performances, etc.^[21]

Critical reception

Hwang Hye-jin from Newsen praised the members in the Dominate tour "proved their excellent stage management skills by diligently moving around the center stage, the raised stage, and even the two sides, based on the experience they gained through the Japanese dome and North American stadium performances during their second tour.^[20] Writing for The Straits Times, Joanne Soh called the Singapore show the "commanding presence, high energy and elaborate numbers that were heavy on theatrics,"^[22] and Ashley Cheah from HallyuSG noted the camera works, live band, members' solo stages, and performance details as the four highlights of the show.^[23]

Commercial performance

Researcher Lee Hyun-ji from Eugene Investment & Securities [ko] predicted that the Dominate World Tour would attract 1.7 million people for the original 41 shows, which is an average of 40,000 people per show.^[24] In February 2025, it was estimated that the tour will attract 2.2 million people worldwide for the total shows, the largest amount for a single concert tour by a South Korean artist.^[25]

With the Dominate World Tour, Stray Kids became the first South Korean act to perform to several venues, Estádio do Morumbi, São Paolo, Globe Life Field, Arlington, Rogers Stadium, Toronto (also the first overall artist); Johan Cruijff Arena, Amsterdam; Deutsche Bank Park, Frankfurt; Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London; Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Madrid; and Stadio Olimpico, Rome.
