K-pop superstars Stray Kids have unveiled an ambitious three-part project that includes new music and a global stadium tour, sending waves of excitement through their devoted fanbase. The eight-member group confirmed they will release a digital single, a full EP, and embark on a world tour under the banner of "Run It" throughout the remainder of 2026 and into 2027 .

The group's agency, JYP Entertainment, revealed the comprehensive roadmap through official social media channels, setting the stage for what promises to be a landmark period in the group's career . The announcement comes on the heels of their successful headlining performance at New York's Governors Ball Music Festival earlier this month.

New Music on the Horizon

Stray Kids will kick off their return with the digital single "Run It," scheduled for release on June 24 at 1 p.m. KST . The track is described as a powerful anthem that captures the group's immense energy as they prepare to expand their global footprint. A teaser video released alongside the announcement portrays the members as figures connecting their past and present, utilizing striking black-and-white visuals and refined narratives that have heightened anticipation for the complete music video .

Following the single, the group will release their new EP titled "This & That" on August 7 at 1 p.m. KST . This marks the group's first album of 2026 and comes approximately nine months after their November 2025 release "Do It" . The digital single "Run It" will be included on the EP, giving fans a preview of what to expect from the full project.

'Run It' World Tour Details

The new world tour, officially titled "Stray Kids World Tour 'Run It'," will surpass the scale of their previous "dominATE" tour, which held the record as the group's largest to date with 56 shows across 35 cities from August 2024 to October 2025 . The upcoming tour is expected to kick off with five concerts at the KSPO Dome in Seoul's Olympic Park on July 25-26, July 29, and August 1-2 .

From Seoul, the group will travel to Japan, where they will make history as the first overseas male artist to hold a standalone concert at Tokyo's National Stadium . The Japan leg will include seven performances across Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, expected to draw approximately 370,000 fans . The tour will then continue to Hong Kong and Taipei in December, Bangkok in January 2027, and Singapore in March, with additional dates and cities to be announced later .

Global Festival Appearances

Beyond their own tour, Stray Kids will maintain a strong presence at major international music festivals. Following their acclaimed headlining set at the Governors Ball Music Festival in New York, the group is scheduled to perform at Brazil's Rock in Rio festival in September . The group also plans to launch a new festival called "STRAYCITY" in three major regions of Latin America, further expanding their influence across the global music landscape.

Since debuting under JYP Entertainment in 2018, Stray Kids have risen to international prominence through their self-produced music and powerful performances. Their ability to connect with audiences worldwide has established them as one of the leading forces in the current K-pop landscape, with hit tracks including "Chk Chk Boom," "Lalalala," "Maniac," and "Thunderous" resonating with fans across continents.

The group's upcoming releases and extensive tour schedule represent a significant milestone in their career, continuing their trajectory as global music industry leaders. Fans can expect additional details about the world tour, including more cities and dates, to be revealed in the coming weeks.
