Stray Kids announces 2027 Run It world tour with Lee Know missing US legs
Global K-pop powerhouse Stray Kids announced their expanded 2027 world tour RUN IT, featuring major stadium performances across Asia, North America, and Europe.
Global K-pop powerhouse Stray Kids announced their expanded 2027 world tour RUN IT, featuring major stadium performances across Asia, North America, and Europe, though member Lee Know will be absent for the western legs due to upcoming military service, according to official tour announcements. The newly announced dates run from April 24, 2027, to July 31, 2027, beginning with four concerts in Japan before the group travels to North America for 14 shows and finishes with seven European performances. Fans across the globe will also experience earlier Asian concerts in Thailand and Singapore, which remain part of the Run It tour routing alongside stadium stops in cities such as Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Milan.
The announcement outlined an ambitious international schedule following the group's previous dominATE world tour that wrapped up in 2025 after 56 concerts across 35 cities. According to Yahoo Singapore reporting, the group is scaling up significantly in North America by moving away from Major League Baseball parks and upgrading directly into National Football League stadiums in most returning markets. For instance, Seattle shifts from T-Mobile Park to Lumen Field, the Bay Area moves from Oracle Park to Levi's Stadium, Dallas-Fort Worth swaps Globe Life Field for AT&T Stadium, and the New York area trades Citi Field for MetLife Stadium. Meanwhile, venues like SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Camping World Stadium in Orlando, and Rogers Stadium in Toronto carry over from the previous tour, alongside newly added stops in Vancouver, San Diego, Houston, and Miami.
Media additions
For fans across the globe, the routing marks a major milestone. However, the tour lineup will undergo a notable shift according to International Business Times reporting. Member Lee Know is set to begin his mandatory military service in early 2027, making him the first member of the group to enlist. Consequently, he will not participate in the North American and European legs of the tour. The remaining seven members—Bang Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N—will continue performing live dates during his absence. His participation in earlier Asian concerts remains unaffected.
The international trek supports the group's latest musical output, including the album This & That, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Rock DNA Magazine noted that this milestone extended their record as the first act in history to debut their first nine charting albums at the top of the US chart. Additionally, the group earned six new RIAA certifications across their catalog, including Platinum certification for God's Menu and Gold certifications for KARMA, LALALALA, Chk Chk Boom, S-Class, and CASE 143.
Tour Itinerary and Stadium Upgrades
The tour routing combines stops in Asia, an extensive North American stadium run, and a European leg culminating in Italy. Yahoo News highlighted how several key North American cities traded ballparks for larger football venues:
| Market | Previous Tour Venue | RUN IT Tour Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Seattle | T-Mobile Park | Lumen Field |
| Bay Area | Oracle Park | Levi's Stadium |
| Dallas-Fort Worth | Globe Life Field | AT&T Stadium |
| New York Area | Citi Field | MetLife Stadium |
Other stops on the North American itinerary include BC Place in Vancouver, Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Petco Park in San Diego, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Reliant Stadium in Houston, Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Soldier Field in Chicago, M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and Rogers Stadium in Toronto.
Following the conclusion of the North American dates on June 29, 2027, at MetLife Stadium, the group heads overseas. The European leg kicks off on July 9, 2027, at the Plenitude Arena in Paris, before visiting Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the Allianz Arena in Munich, Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna, Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona, GelreDome in Arnhem, and San Siro Stadium in Milan.
