This year has already been nothing but incredible for Stray Kids. In 2024 alone, they attended the MET gala, they headlined three different festivals, had an incredibly successful comeback with ATE, and now they’re about to be everywhere around the world with their biggest tour yet. Stray Kids just kicked off their third world tour, the dominATE Tour, with four dates in Seoul, and it’s already one for the books. We weren’t lucky enough to be there in person, but you bet we were glued to our timeline during the four days and watching every second of the stream through Beyond Live for the fourth and final day.
While Stray Kids kicked off the tour in Korea, they’re set to tour across 40 cities. So far, the dates for Asia and Australia are the only ones that have been announced, but on top of that, the dominATE World Tour is set to take them to Latin America, Europe, and North America. And while we wait and watch from afar, here’s everything you need to know about the setlist!
dominATE World Tour
There are so many elements about this tour that already make it special. Stray Kids weren’t satisfied with performing over 30 songs out of their discography; they also brought new arrangements, sets, and choreographies to the stage. They’re once again touring with a band, this time with the same band who performed with them at Lollapalooza in Chicago. And, of course, it makes the songs come to life in such a magical and perfect way. It’s not only about new arrangements like the Latino-influenced ‘TOPLINE,’ but also about recreating some of their most iconic performances at award shows. For ‘Thunderous,’ we get the Golden Disk Awards 2022 version, for ‘S-Class’ the iconic VMAs 2023 version, and they re-did the ‘VENOM‘ and ‘MANIAC‘ combo from the MAMAs in 2022. That alone should let you know this show is simply unbelievable.
Solo Performances
Stray Kids had already done solo stages with their 5-STAR Dome Tour last year, and it’s back for this tour. But now, it’s only unreleased and new songs. In perfect Han fashion, he gave us a rock song with ‘Hold My Hand,’ where he sings his heart out and even plays the electric guitar, showing how much he was born to perform. Lee Know opted for a hip-hop/pop mixture with ‘Youth,’ which feels fresh and bright while showcasing his outstanding and sharp dancing skills and all the versatility in his voice. Seungmin came out with a gorgeous slow song to showcase his vocals and guitar skills with ‘As We Are’ – and there are no words to explain how this song will change your life.
Meanwhile, Hyunjin performed an addictive and infectious hip-hop song with ‘So Good,’ which includes a choreography to die for. Bang Chan surprised us with a sensual song, impressive vocals, and a gorgeous and enticing setting in the RnB song, ‘Railway.’ I.N took a similar yet refreshing route with ‘Hallucination,’ showcasing a brand new side of himself. Felix broke our hearts with ‘Unfair,’ an emotional, vulnerable, and impactful song that highlights his lyrics, singing, and rap in a brand new way. And Changbin brought up the energy to the roof with ‘Ultra’ – explosive doesn’t even begin to describe it. The rap, choreo, and just everything about this song make it a banger and an instant highlight.
The Songs
Named after their latest comeback, ATE, it makes sense that the setlist includes most of the songs in the mini-album. Stray Kids opened their show with the mini-album opener, ‘MOUNTAINS,’ a song they had never performed before. While we were already familiar with the performances for ‘Chk Chk Boom’ and ‘JJAM,’ we also got a fun and addictive performance for ‘I Like It’ during the encore. ‘Twilight’ serves as a perfect moment to strip things down and showcase their vocals, and ‘Stray Kids‘ creates an intimate and meaningful moment towards the end of the show.
‘Chk Chk Boom (Festival Ver.)’ couldn’t be missed either, as it is the perfect song for an encore. But these b-sides aren’t the only songs included in the setlist that they had never performed before. Stray Kids also performed ‘COMFLEX‘ from the ROCK-STAR mini-album for the first time ever and reminded us all why we love this song so much.
The setlist wouldn’t be complete without some of Stray Kids‘ most iconic title tracks like ‘God’s Menu,’ ‘My Pace,’ and ‘MIROH,’ as well as some b-sides from their previous comebacks like ‘DOMINO‘ and ‘ITEM.’ The encore was filled with fan-favorite songs, and the last few songs changed each day. But we’ll let you discover the entire setlist!
