In July, Stary Kids will headline not one but two renowned European music festivals: I-Days in Milan and BST Hyde Park in London. This will make them the first K-pop boy group to do so.
Famous performers such as Justin Bieber, Green Day, Liam Gallagher, and Blink 182 have played at the famed I-Days event since its 1999 debut. Stray Kids will now proudly serve as headliners, marking a momentous occasion for K-pop, joining the iconic band Metallica, Doja Cat, Lana Del Rey, Bring Me The Horizon, and Sum41 on this year’s list.
Another historic feat is the group’s performance at BST Hyde Park in London; they are the first K-pop boy group to ever win a spot at one of the most famous music festivals in the world.
Attendance at the Accor Arena in Paris, France, for the ‘Yellow Coin Collection Campaign’ (Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes) is indicative of Stray Kids’ growing international profile. Funds will be collected for children and adolescents in hospitals at the event, which is being chaired by French First Lady Brigitte Macron.
Stray Kids achieved a first when their third studio album, “(5-STAR),” topped the US Billboard 200 for three weeks in a row. Contributing to this success were their title tune “S-Class” and b-side song “TOPLINE (Feat. Tiger JK)”. Their status as performance masters was further solidified with the top-charting smash “God’s Menu”.
With impressive achievements across a range of metrics, Stray Kids keeps making waves throughout the world. They are so dominant in the 4th generation of K-pop boy groups that their music video for the title track “LALALALA” from the mini album ‘樂-STAR’ has now crossed 100 million views on YouTube.
This is their eleventh music video to accomplish this feat. To top it all off, Stray Kids have been nominated for two awards at the upcoming ‘2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards,’ for ‘K-Pop Artist of the Year’ and ‘K-Pop Song of the Year.’
This follows their nomination for ‘Group and Duo of the Year’ at the recent US ‘People’s Choice Awards,’ so their accomplishments have been acknowledged in two separate ceremonies. You can also join us on our Twitter account for more updates.
