The concert opened with a high-energy performance of 'MOUNTAINS' from their mini-album 'ATE,' followed by crowd favorites 'JJAM' and 'Thunderous.' The fans, affectionately known as STAY, matched the group's enthusiasm with deafening chants and cheers, making the arena buzz with excitement.

After a blazing start, Seungmin greeted the crowd, teasing them about the powerful opening. Lee Know hinted at even more energy to come, while Hyunjin expressed his happiness about the tour's scale. Han introduced the accompanying band, setting the tone for the epic journey that lay ahead.


Stray Kids delivered non-stop performances with little time for chit-chat, filling the night with hits like 'District 9,' 'Back Door,' and 'God's Menu.' Each track brought explosive energy, amplified by stunning solo stages that showcased the members' unique charms. From Han’s rockstar vibes in 'Hold My Hand' to Hyunjin’s artistic flair in 'So Good,' each performance was a highlight.




Before ending with 'MANIAC,' the band shared their excitement and gratitude. Seungmin said, "I feel like we’re opening a new chapter with this concert. We put a lot of thought into this performance along with our staff. I'm curious to know how you felt today." Felix added, "STAY’s energy strengthens us. We’ll continue to make you happy with our performances." Hyunjin reflected, "The fact that a new chapter has begun means we’ll be able to create more memories with you in the future. Let’s make lasting memories together." Changbin also commented, "During the fan meeting, I said you don’t have to worry about the 'seven-year curse,' and I’m glad we could live up to that promise"

Changbin reassured fans about their future together, saying, "I usually don’t get nervous before going on stage. I just feel excited, and this time I couldn’t wait to get up there. But on the first day of the Seoul concert, I was a bit nervous. However, thanks to STAY’s support, I was able to give it my all on stage. STAY, you devoured the audience seats. This place is a delicious spot, and it’s 0 calories, so no worries about gaining weight. This is just the beginning, but we’ll have a healthy and fun tour ahead. We’re not leaving; it’s just a short break. We’ll meet more STAYs, so please wait for us."

Lee Know added, "We’re not leaving; we’re just going on a short journey to meet more STAYs and share our energy, so please wait for us. This concert came to fruition after much hardship. It wasn’t easy. I usually focus on enjoying the stage rather than feeling nervous, but with the comeback activities and everything else, there was a lot of pressure to satisfy everyone."

Despite a few issues with stage effects and video screens, the synergy between Stray Kids and their fans made the concert memorable.


The 'dominATE' tour continues with major stadium stops worldwide, starting in Singapore on September 28th, followed by Melbourne, Sydney, Kaohsiung, Tokyo, and more. Latin American, North American, and European dates will be announced soon.
