Global K-pop phenomenon Stray Kids has announced their 2027 world tour, Run It. The tour kicks off at Seattle’s Lumen Field on May 16 before wrapping up in Milan, Italy, in 2028.

This particular tour will not include member Lee Know, who begins his mandatory military service before the tour dates. He will rejoin the seven other members of the group after completing his obligation to his country.

The group has had a big year, becoming the first K-pop act to headline Rock in Rio. Stray Kids can add this achievement to its appearances at BST in London, Lollapalooza in 2024 and sold-out dates across three continents on its <dominATE> world tour. Run It is in support of the group’s new album, This & That, which had a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200.

The band earned platinum certifications for the single God’s Menu and an additional five gold certifications for Karma, Lalalala, Chk Chk Boom, S-Class and Case 143.

Since forming in 2017, members Know, Bang Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. have released seven albums of their particular mash-up style fusing hip-hop, dance-pop, dubstep drops, electroclash bangers and metal powerchords into one of the most successful brands in the global K-pop scene.

The band, which self-produces its music, has been heralded for its high-concept videos and stage shows, as well as its smart lyrical wordplay.

The group appears in Vancouver on May 19.
