⚡ From Billboard to the Bernabéu? Stray Kids Dominate Madrid with Historic Show
Stray Kids just made K-pop history in Spain, and the numbers don’t lie.
On July 22, the group performed their first-ever solo concert in Madrid as part of their “Stray Kids World Tour ‘dominATE’”, and the result? A completely sold-out stadium show that officially became the largest K-pop concert ever held in Spain.
The venue? Cívitas Metropolitano Stadium — home of Atlético Madrid, and previously graced by legends like The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran, and Bruno Mars. Stray Kids is now the first K-pop and Asian act to headline the venue solo.
🎟️ All Seats Gone. All Fans Hyped.
The demand was overwhelming. Every ticket was gone before showtime, and the crowd filled every corner of the massive stadium. The concert proved Stray Kids’ explosive popularity in Europe, with fans traveling from across Spain and beyond to attend the historic show.
This performance marks not just a milestone in their career — but in K-pop’s global expansion.
🎤 The Setlist That Shook Madrid
They opened the night with “MOUNTAINS”, setting the tone with fierce energy. What followed was a nonstop parade of:
- Billboard 200-topping title tracks
- Fan-favorite hits
- Unit stages from ‘Mixtape: dominATE’
- And an encore performance of “Star Lost” that left STAYs in tears.
Stray Kids transformed the massive stadium into an emotional, electrifying, and unforgettable live experience.
🗣️ “We’ve Always Wanted to Come to Spain…”
The members expressed deep gratitude, saying:
“We’ve always wanted to perform in Spain. Thanks to you, we got to come to this beautiful city. Thank you for waiting—we’ll definitely be back.”
With sincere words and heartfelt smiles, they connected with fans across language and borders — the true power of K-pop.
🌍 What’s Next: Paris and Rome
Their European tour continues with:
- Paris (Stade de France) – July 26–27
- Rome (Stadio Olimpico) – July 30
Rome will mark their largest headlining concert ever. With each show, Stray Kids aren’t just performing — they’re building a legacy.
