Stray Kids opened the “RUN IT” world tour with five concerts at KSPO Dome in Seoul Olympic Park. JYP Entertainment’s first announcement also maps a substantial Asia run — including two stadium nights in Tokyo — while explicitly leaving room for more cities.
The routing so far
The Seoul opening concerts were held on July 25, July 26, July 29, August 1 and August 2, 2026.
The announced route then runs:
- Tokyo — August 29–30, 2026 — MUFG Stadium (Japan’s national stadium)
- Nagoya and Osaka — September 2026
- Fukuoka — October 2026
- Hong Kong and Taipei — December 2026
- Bangkok — January 2027
- Singapore — March 2027
Seven Japan shows are announced in total, which JYP projects will draw roughly 370,000 attendees. JYP says Stray Kids will become the first overseas male act to hold a standalone concert at Tokyo’s national stadium.
Read the shape rather than the list. This is an arena-anchored tour with a stadium spike in Japan, spread across three calendar quarters, and it follows the Dominate tour that closed in October 2025 after 56 shows in 35 cities. A routing that thin outside Japan, over that long a window, is a routing with gaps left in it on purpose.
What a stadium leg changes for a ticket buyer
An arena and a stadium are not the same purchase, and the two Tokyo dates behave differently from every other stop.
Inventory scale. A dome show sells in the tens of thousands; a national-stadium show sells in multiples of that. Counter-intuitively, this can make a stadium ticket easier to get and a good stadium ticket much harder. The cheap upper tiers are enormous. The floor is not.
Sight lines. Stadium stages are further from most of the room, and a large share of stadium seats are behind or beside the stage. Screens carry the show. If you are buying blind, an arena upper level often beats a stadium side-stand for what you actually see. Check whether a seat is sold as restricted or side-view before assuming a price tier is a bargain.
Entry timing. Stadiums stagger entry by gate and by ticket band, sometimes starting hours before showtime, and bag checks are slower. Arena entry is usually a single compressed window. Plan to arrive earlier for a stadium, not later.
Merchandise and queues. Stadium merch lines commonly open the day before or many hours ahead and can close out. Weather also becomes a real variable at an open venue in late August in Tokyo. Arena queues are shorter but the goods sell out faster relative to attendance.
Transport out. Emptying a stadium takes far longer than emptying an arena. If you have a last train or a same-night flight, count the exit, not just the set.
The ticketing route, region by region
There is no single global on-sale for a tour like this. Each market has its own seller and its own rules.
Korea. Domestic platforms, verified accounts, and heavy identity checking. Fan-club priority rounds run before general sale, and both are first-come. Overseas buyers frequently hit verification walls that require a Korean phone number or foreigner registration number.
Japan. Ballots, not races. Japanese fan-club and promoter sales run as lotteries: you apply inside an application window, results are drawn, and you pay only if allocated. Refreshing at the on-sale minute achieves nothing. There are usually several rounds — fan-club first, then general lottery, then any first-come remainder.
Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore. Local promoters and local platforms, announced separately per city, often only four to eight weeks ahead. Credit-card presales are common in these markets in place of, or alongside, fan-club rounds.
The rule that holds everywhere: start at the official artist channel, follow it to the named promoter, and only then to a seller.
What fan-club membership actually buys
Membership is widely misunderstood as a guarantee. It is not.
What it reliably buys is access to an earlier or separate sales round — a smaller pool of competitors, not a reserved seat. In Korea that means an earlier first-come window. In Japan it means entry into an earlier ballot with better odds than the general draw. It may also unlock separate benefits such as designated blocks or member-only ticket types, where the promoter offers them.
What it does not do is bypass sell-outs, guarantee a good seat, or transfer between countries. A Korean membership generally does not admit you to a Japanese fan-club ballot. Membership also has to be active before a stated cutoff date, which is usually weeks before the on-sale — joining after the announcement is often already too late for that city.
If you are deciding whether membership is useful before another ticket wave, the Stray Kids official fandom starter guide separates current membership access from resale-kit claims. For the release running alongside this tour, see the verified THIS & THAT release and preorder guide.
How and when legs get extended
Tours of this size are announced in waves. The first poster is a commitment to a skeleton, not a complete schedule, and JYP has said additional dates and cities will follow.
Extensions typically arrive in two forms: added nights in a city already on the list, announced when a first date clears; and entirely new legs — North America, Europe, Latin America, Oceania — announced as their own poster months later. Neither is confirmed here.
What is not yet confirmed
Exact performance dates and venues for Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok and Singapore; all on-sale dates and prices; and any city outside the list above.
As of the August 19 source check, JYP’s official notices still do not publish those missing dates, venues, prices or additional cities. The route and ticket inventory remain subject to later official announcements, so this page should be checked again before booking travel or paying a reseller.
The tour also sits alongside a release cycle: the digital single “Run It” arrived on June 26, and the EP “This & That” was scheduled for August 7, 2026. For ticket searches, pair the tour name with the city — Stray Kids RUN IT Tokyo, Stray Kids RUN IT Taipei — and treat any page selling a date JYP has not announced as a page not to pay.
