Stray Kids Postpones Taiwan Concert Due to Typhoon Kong-Rey

Stray Kids' highly anticipated concert in Taiwan has been rescheduled due to Typhoon Kong-Rey’s impact on the region. Originally set for November 2, the concert will now take place on November 3 at 6 p.m. local time at the Kaohsiung National Stadium.

The decision came after Taiwan declared October 31 as an official "Typhoon Day" in response to the unpredictable path and intensity of Typhoon Kong-Rey. This forced the concert organizers and Stray Kids to prioritize the safety of fans, the crew, and the group members, particularly due to concerns over the complex stage setup.

In their official statement, Stray Kids expressed regret over the sudden change.

Unfortunately, due to disruptions caused by Typhoon Kong-Rey, a “Typhoon Day (31 Oct)” has been declared. We regret to announce “Stray Kids World Tour ” scheduled for November 2nd, 2024 at Kaohsiung National Stadium has been postponed to 6PM on 3 November, 2024. After many discussions and evaluations regarding concerns about stage setup and the safety of our audience, we unfortunately had to make this decision. Please kindly understand that we are currently planning to implement the best measures to ensure the safe travel and performance of the members. Tickets for the original date will remain valid for the rescheduled date. For those who are unable to attend the rescheduled event, please visit the tixCraft [website] for ticket refund details.
The Typhoon Kong-Rey is highly unpredictable. Please take care of your safety and stay updated with the latest announcements from Live Nation platforms. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
