The kids have graduated to global headliners!
Stray Kids, an octet under the JYP Entertainment label, debuted in 2018 with their instant hit song District 9. The song topped several iTunes album charts worldwide within hours of its debut release. And the song broke the record for the most number of Youtube views within 24 hours on a debut song by a K-Pop boy group.
And now, as a proud STAY, it feels amazing to report that our kids are finally getting what they deserve.
Stray Kids made history as the first-ever K-POP act to be invited to HEADLINE the Lollapalooza Festival in Paris, France.
Stray Kids delivered an unforgettably epoch-making performance on 21st July at Hippodrome ParisLongchamp, staying (pun intended) true to their reputation.
The decorated festival invites the most prominent names in the music industry. This year Stray Kids shared the stage as official headliners with Rosalia on Saturday and Kendrick Lamar on Sunday.
Seems like the world is served excellence straight from God’s Menu.
Setlist For The Entire Stray Kids Lollapalooza Performance
After breaking countless records with their 2023 comeback album 5-STAR, they are setting the stage on fire with a thoughtfully-curated setlist.
