Stray Kids Announce 2027 'RUN IT' World Tour with MetLife Stadium Headline
K-pop group Stray Kids has officially announced its 'RUN IT' World Tour for the spring and summer of 2027, culminating in a headline performance at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium. The seven-member lineup will perform globally from May through July, supporting their latest chart-topping album, while member Lee Know remains absent due to mandatory military service.
Stray Kids has confirmed plans for a global stadium tour in the spring and summer of 2027, titled the "RUN IT" World Tour. The group will perform across international venues from May through July next year, with the U.S. leg concluding at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on Tuesday, June 29.
The active lineup for the tour consists of Bang Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. Member Lee Know will not participate in the tour dates due to his mandatory military service in South Korea. The announcement follows the release of the group’s ninth studio album, "THIS & THAT," which arrived on August 7 and quickly secured the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, marking their ninth consecutive LP to achieve this milestone.
Prior to the 2027 international run, Stray Kids performed a series of shows in Japan. According to Set List FM, performances at venues such as the Tokyo Dome featured a setlist of 31 songs. The repertoire included fan favorites like "God’s Menu," "MANIAC," "Chk Chk Boom," "LALALALA," and "S-Class," alongside tracks from the new album.
Media coverage of recent performances highlighted the scale of the group's live production. A September concert at Mexico City’s GNP Seguros Stadium was described by Billboard as featuring thousands of light sticks illuminating the stands, with fans performing choreography synchronized with the group and their dancers. The setlist for the Tokyo Dome show on November 8 included specific tracks such as "Chk Chk Boom" (Japanese version) and a tour debut of "Christmas Love" (party version).
The "RUN IT" World Tour serves as a major promotional vehicle for "THIS & THAT." The seven-track album opens with the title track, described as an invigorating anthem with marching band influences. Other notable tracks on the release include the EDM-infused festival version of "This & That," the club-ready "After You," the hypnotic pop track "FARMING," and the closing rocker "Back Then."
Tickets for the 2027 tour will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, November 19, at 3 p.m. local time via Ticketmaster. The group is also available through secondary market platforms such as Vivid Seats.
The announcement places Stray Kids among other major K-pop acts with extensive touring schedules in the coming months. While some groups have limited remaining U.S. dates for the current year, Stray Kids has committed to a longer international run. Additionally, industry attention remains on other major live events, including LISA’s "Viva La Lisa" residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
