Stray Kids continues to dominate the global K-pop scene, and their fans are counting down the days until their highly anticipated show in Madrid. The group’s Stray Kids World Tour <dominATE MADRID> will light up the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium on July 22.

In an exclusive interview with LOS40, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N shared their excitement ahead of the big night.
“You’re going to be blown away. Stray Kids is going to dominATE Madrid,” said Changbin. “We hope you’re just as excited as we are. We can’t wait to perform in a stadium.”

The group also opened up about which Spanish artist they’d love to meet, what they’re hoping to explore during their visit to Madrid, and the creative process behind their latest mixtape—one that signals a new chapter for the band.

With dominATE, Stray Kids is cementing their status as a global powerhouse, blending hip-hop, electronic, and rock influences with introspective lyrics and empowering messages. Tracks like MEGAVERSE and BLIND SPOT have been praised for their intensity and cutting-edge production, reinforcing the group’s role as pioneers of fourth-generation K-pop.

The Madrid concert marks the first time Stray Kids will perform at Atlético de Madrid’s stadium, which holds over 70,000 fans. Expectations are sky-high—and for good reason. Fans can look forward to a jaw-dropping show packed with high-energy choreography, dazzling special effects, and that unmistakable SKZ connection with the audience.

With this stop in Spain’s capital, Stray Kids not only strengthens their bond with European fans but also proves that their stage presence is as global as their sound. Madrid is bracing for an unforgettable night where K-pop will take center stage in all its glory.
