Global sensation Stray Kids has officially wrapped up their expansive 11-month world tour, 'dominATE,' marking a significant new chapter for the group.

The grand finale took place on November 18th and 19th at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, bringing their 'Stray Kids World Tour 'dominATE : celebrATE'' to a triumphant close. This encore concert capped off a record-breaking tour that spanned 35 regions and included 56 performances worldwide. The final day's concert was also simultaneously broadcast online via Beyond LIVE, allowing fans across the globe to share in the memorable conclusion.

Marking a historic milestone, Stray Kids achieved their first-ever stadium performance in South Korea, seven years after their debut. "I can't believe we're performing here. Thank you for letting us play with you in such a huge venue. This feels incredibly happy and will be an unforgettable moment," expressed a moved member on stage.

As their first outdoor solo concert in Korea, the show featured spectacular productions unique to open-air venues. Pyrotechnics, fire columns, and a breathtaking drone show illuminated the stadium, creating an unforgettable spectacle, especially during the transition from 'dominATE' to 'celebrATE.'

Unit performances, including Lee Know and Seungmin's 'CINEMA,' alongside energetic renditions of '락 (樂)' and 'MIROH,' were amplified by stunning fireworks that lit up the night sky, adding to the festive atmosphere.

The tour covered an astonishing distance of approximately 285,000 km, equivalent to circling the Earth seven times, underscoring Stray Kids' immense global popularity. They performed stadium shows in 27 out of 34 concert locations, achieving K-pop firsts and setting new records in 13 of these venues.

Concertgoers were treated to the first-ever live performances of tracks from their 4th full album, including the title track 'CEREMONY' and other album songs. Special unit stages from 'Mixtape : dominATE,' released as a gift to fans, were also performed in Korea for the first time. A unique fusion of traditional Korean elements, such as lion dance masks and hanbok-inspired costumes, reimagined through Stray Kids' distinctive style in songs like 'Walkin On Water,' '神메뉴,' and '특,' further elevated the experience with traditional Korean music arrangements.

Adding to the excitement, a surprise trailer for their upcoming release, 'SKZ IT TAPE' 'DO IT,' scheduled for November 21st, was unveiled just as the concert concluded. The members hinted at more to come, stating, "We still have a lot to show you this year. Let's run together until the end of the year."

Reflecting on the tour, the members shared heartfelt messages: "Over the past year of touring, our gratitude towards you and our desire to perform have grown even stronger. This tour made us realize what a miracle it is to be able to share moments with those who love us. It's incredibly moving to see us come this far from humble beginnings. We've received so much love this year thanks to you all. We won't forget this love and support and will always work hard. Thank you, STAY, and we love you."

Stray Kids and their dedicated fanbase, STAY, created an electrifying synergy that warmed the chilly autumn night, leaving a lasting impression of their remarkable journey and groundbreaking achievements.

Fans reacted with overwhelming excitement to the surprise comeback announcement, flooding social media with comments like "FINALLY a comeback!", "The concert was already the best, but a comeback too? Truly legendary.", and "Counting down the days until November 21st!"
