Stray Kids have not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. Their current tour, the RUN IT World Tour, began in Seoul in July 2026, and as of 9 October 2026 the only 2027 dates published are two nights at Impact Arena near Bangkok on 16 and 17 January and two at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 6 and 7 March 2027. No Oceania leg has been announced.
Australia is not just another market for this group. Two of the eight members, the leader Bang Chan and Felix, were born and grew up in Sydney, and in November 2025 both took part in Tourism Australia's 'Come and Say G'day' campaign in South Korea. The band has toured the country three times, each time on a bigger scale: Festival Hall and The Big Top in 2019, Rod Laver Arena and Qudos Bank Arena in 2023, and Marvel Stadium and Allianz Stadium in October 2024.
This page sets out what is and is not known about a 2027 visit, then covers every Stray Kids concert in Australia, the group's career and albums, and what the stadium show they brought to Melbourne and Sydney looked like.
There is no official information about Stray Kids concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. The RUN IT World Tour, named after the lead single of the EP This & That released in August 2026, has so far been announced in stages: five nights at the KSPO Dome in Seoul in July and August 2026, Japanese stadium and dome shows in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka, three nights at the Tokyo Dome from 6 to 8 November, Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on 5 December and the Taipei Dome on 12 December 2026.
The 2027 dates published so far are in South-East Asia: Impact Arena near Bangkok on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 January 2027, with a STAY presale on 21 September and a general sale on 23 September 2026, and the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 March 2027, with a STAY presale on 31 August and a general sale on 2 September 2026. Neither announcement mentioned Australia or New Zealand.
The band's last two world tours, Maniac and Dominate, both included Australia, in February 2023 and October 2024, after their Asian legs. That history is a reason to watch for an announcement, not evidence that one is coming. Until the band's agency publishes Australian or New Zealand dates, there is nothing to book.
Be careful with anything that looks like a leaked itinerary. Any website already listing Stray Kids stadium dates in Melbourne or Sydney for 2027, or selling a 'STAY presale code' for them, is not working from an official announcement.
Stray Kids first came to Australia in February 2019, less than a year after their official debut, on the Unveil Tour 'I Am...', which had opened in Bangkok on 19 January. They played Festival Hall in Melbourne on Thursday 21 February and The Big Top at Luna Park in Sydney on Sunday 24 February 2019. The 18-song set opened with 'Hellevator', 'Beware', 'Awaken' and 'District 9' and included 'My Pace', 'I Am You', 'Grow Up' and '4419'.
For Bang Chan and Felix the Sydney show was a homecoming, and it came at the start of a fast rise. Later that year the band released the Clé series and began the District 9: Unlock World Tour.
The Maniac World Tour, in support of Oddinary, began in Seoul on 29 April 2022 and moved through Asia, Australia and North America. The Australian leg came in February 2023 with two nights at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 February and two at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 February. Each show opened with 'Maniac' and 'Venom' and ran to about 30 songs, and each also had a VIP soundcheck with three extra songs, such as 'Case 143', 'Top' and 'Victory Song' in Melbourne and 'Easy', 'Side Effects' and 'God's Menu' in Sydney.
Twenty months later, the Dominate World Tour brought them back to Australia as a stadium act. They played Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Saturday 19 October 2024 and Allianz Stadium in Sydney on Saturday 26 October 2024, both listed in the Wikipedia tour article. The show ran to 35 songs, opening with 'Mountains', 'Thunderous', 'JJAM' and 'District 9'; Melbourne closed with 'Haven' and Sydney with 'Star Lost'.
Those two stadium nights are the band's most recent concerts in Australia. The Dominate tour ended with encore shows at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium in October 2025. The setlist archive and Wikipedia list no Stray Kids concert in New Zealand so far, so an Auckland date would be a first.
The table below lists 8 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Stray Kids between 2019 and 2024, with the most shows in Sydney (4), Melbourne (4). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Across the 8 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (21 February 2019 to 26 October 2024), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Stray Kids were formed by JYP Entertainment in 2017 through a reality show of the same name. Unusually, the leader, Bang Chan, picked each member himself from the company's trainees. The group released the pre-debut EP Mixtape in January 2018 and officially debuted on 25 March 2018 with I Am Not and its single 'District 9', followed by I Am Who and I Am You. Woojin left the group in 2019, and the line-up has since been eight: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. Most of the music is self-produced by the in-house team 3Racha, made up of Bang Chan, Changbin and Han.
The Clé trilogy of 2019 was followed by a Japanese debut in 2020 and the first studio album, Go Live, whose single 'God's Menu' is regarded as the group's signature song. Noeasy (2021) was their first million-selling album. After signing with Republic Records for the United States in 2022, they became the first act to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with each of their first nine entries: Oddinary, Maxident, 5-Star, Rock-Star, Ate, Hop, Karma, Do It and This & That (2026). 5-Star was certified for five million copies in South Korea, and 'Lalalala' from Rock-Star was their first Billboard Hot 100 entry.
On stage they became the first K-pop act to headline major international festivals such as Lollapalooza in Paris (2023) and Chicago (2024), BST Hyde Park in London and I-Days in Milan. In September 2026 they launched their own festival, StrayCity, in Latin America, which drew 270,000 people, and headlined Rock in Rio in Brazil.
By May 2026 the group had sold more than 40 million albums across Korean and Japanese releases. They were named in Time's Next Generation Leaders list in 2023 and Forbes Asia's 30 Under 30 in 2025, and received South Korea's Prime Minister's Commendation for their contribution to Korean pop culture.

Bang Chan was born on 3 October 1997 and grew up in Sydney; Felix was born in Sydney on 15 September 2000 and went to school in the city before moving to South Korea as a trainee at 17. Sydney has seen every Australian tour: The Big Top at Luna Park in 2019, two nights at Qudos Bank Arena in 2023 and Allianz Stadium on 26 October 2024.
Their Australian roots were used officially in November 2025, when the two members took part in Tourism Australia's 'Come and Say G'day Chapter 2' campaign in South Korea. None of that, however, has yet turned into a 2027 date.
In Melbourne the band's growth is easy to follow: Festival Hall in February 2019, two nights at Rod Laver Arena in February 2023 and Marvel Stadium on 19 October 2024. Each visit moved up a level, from a hall to the city's main arena to a roofed stadium.
If they return on the RUN IT tour, the scale of the 2026 shows, which include Japanese domes, a 140,000-attendance weekend in Tokyo, Kai Tak Stadium and the Taipei Dome, suggests stadiums again. That is an inference from the existing tour, not an announcement.
The Maniac leg of February 2023 was the only time Stray Kids have played more than one night in an Australian city: two at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 February, and two at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 February. All four shows followed the same main set of about 30 songs.
Each night also had a VIP soundcheck, and the songs changed every time: 'Case 143', 'Top' and 'Victory Song' on the first Melbourne night, 'Venom', 'All In' and 'Easy' on the second, 'Venom', 'Back Door' and 'Victory Song' on the first Sydney night and 'Easy', 'Side Effects' and 'God's Menu' on the last. The 2024 stadium visits, by contrast, were one night per city.
The RUN IT World Tour began with five nights at the KSPO Dome in Seoul (25, 26 and 29 July, 1 and 2 August 2026), then moved to Japan: MUFG Stadium in Tokyo on 29 and 30 August, Vantelin Dome Nagoya on 5 and 6 September, Kyocera Dome Osaka on 19 and 20 September, Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka on 24 October and the Tokyo Dome on 6, 7 and 8 November. Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong follows on 5 December and the Taipei Dome on 12 December 2026.
For 2027 the published dates are Impact Arena near Bangkok on 16 and 17 January and the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 6 and 7 March. Nothing after Singapore had been published as of 9 October 2026.
Stray Kids have never played in New Zealand according to the setlist archive and the Wikipedia tour articles. None of their three world tours so far included an Auckland date.
No New Zealand show is announced for 2027. If an Oceania leg is added to the RUN IT tour, the alert on this page will cover New Zealand dates as well.
A Stray Kids headline show is long. The Dominate stadium shows in Melbourne and Sydney ran to 35 songs, including 'Chk Chk Boom' twice, with a structure built around the hits ('Thunderous', 'District 9', 'Back Door', 'S-Class', 'God's Menu', 'Venom', 'Maniac', 'Case 143', 'Miroh', 'Lalalala'), album tracks such as 'Youth', 'As We Are', 'Railway' and 'Hallucination', and a closing run of 'I Like It', 'Case 143', 'My Pace', 'Stray Kids' and 'Miroh'.
The Maniac arena shows of 2023 were about 30 songs, from 'Maniac' and 'Venom' at the start to 'Star Lost' and 'Haven' at the close, with 'Cheese', 'Yayaya', 'Rock', 'Mirror Mirror', 'Muddy Water', 'Hellevator' and 'Top' along the way. The 2019 shows, by comparison, were 18 songs, almost all from the I Am series.
The RUN IT tour is built around the 2026 EP This & That and its lead single 'Run It'. Its full set list in Australia, if the tour comes, cannot be known until then.
There are no Stray Kids tickets on sale for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any listing, package or 'presale code' for Australian or New Zealand RUN IT dates is not official.
On this tour, the announced Asian dates have used a STAY (official fan club) presale a couple of days before the general sale, for example 31 August and 2 September 2026 for Singapore. If Australian dates are announced, expect fan club membership to matter, buy only from the official ticket outlet named in the announcement or the venue box office, and remember that mobile tickets in Australia are often locked to the buyer's name. Resale should only go through the official resale service attached to the show.
