SINGAPORE – K-pop boy band Stray Kids will be performing at Singapore’s largest concert venue, the National Stadium, on Sept 28.
The news was announced via the octet’s social media accounts, which unveiled details of their upcoming world tour titled Dominate. Singapore is listed as the second stop after the opening shows at the KSPO Dome in Seoul on Aug 24, 25 and 31 and Sept 1.
The one-night concert at the 55,000-capacity National Stadium makes Stray Kids the third K-pop act to perform at the venue, after superstars BTS and Blackpink.
Boy band BTS held their sold-out show there in January 2019, while girl group Blackpink held two sold-out shows in May 2023.
Tickets for Stray Kids’ show range from $168 to $348. General sales begin on July 31.
There are two rounds of pre-sales. UOB Mastercard cardholders can access a pre-sale on July 29 from noon to midnight while event organiser Live Nation members can access a pre-sale on July 30 from noon to midnight.
The tour will also visit cities such as Melbourne, Kaohsiung, Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok and Jakarta.
