On July 30th (local time), Stray Kids held their first European stadium tour at Stadio Olimpico di Roma, marking the perfect end to their first European stadium tour since their debut.
They held an exclusive concert as part of the "Stray Kids World Tour." In July 2024, they performed at the large-scale music festival "ID" held in Milan.
Stray Kids, who met with over 70,000 spectators as headliners at the "Rome Festival," will return to Rome in July 2025, a year after their previous performance, to meet local fans through an exclusive concert.
The concert was held at the Stadio Olimpico di Roma, which has hosted the Summer Universiade, the World Championships in Athletics, and the FIFA World Cup since it opened in 1953.
It is the venue for many international sporting events, including the World Cup and the UEFA Champions League, and is the home stadium of Serie A teams AS Roma and SS Lazio.

World-famous artists such as U2, Muse, and Coldplay have performed here.
The stadium, which can accommodate approximately 70,000 people, was completely sold out, making this concert the largest ever held in Rome as a K-pop concert.
Stray Kids will also perform at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, Douche Bank-Park in Frankfurt and Tottenham Hotspur in London.
The same impressive record was achieved in six European venues, including the Barcelona Stadium, the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, the Stade de France in Paris, and the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
"Record maker" Stray Kids has a wide range of songs, from representative songs that represent the group's musical identity to records of various genres that overlap with individuality, with each of the eight members writing their own songs.
The performance of the unit song, which they wrote together with the group, took up a total of 180 minutes of running time. They rode around the stadium on a trolley, shortening the physical distance between them and the audience, and singing along to the Korean lyrics.
As they sang, they became one with the fans. Stray Kids successfully completed the long-awaited 54th performance of their "largest ever" world tour, covering 54 shows in 34 regions around the world.
Kids said, "Today is the last performance of our European tour, so the sense of accomplishment is really special. I'm standing in front of you all, and more than anything, I'm so happy to be able to stay with STAY (fan club)."
"Thanks to the energy of all the fans, we were able to continue performing on stage. I'm truly grateful, and I hope this performance will become a memorable moment in everyone's lives," he said in a heartfelt statement.
Meanwhile, Stray Kids will release their fourth full-length album, "KARMA," on the 22nd, signaling the spectacular return of the "K-POP champions."
