K-pop boy group Stray Kids will launch a new world tour, "Run It," in Seoul next month, the group's agency JYP Entertainment said Tuesday.
The eight-member act will open the tour with five concerts at the KSPO Dome in Seoul's Olympic Park on July 25-26, July 29 and Aug. 1-2.
The group will then head to Tokyo's National Stadium in August, followed by shows in Nagoya and Osaka in September, Fukuoka in October, Hong Kong and Taipei in December, Bangkok in January and Singapore in March. Additional dates and cities will be announced later.
JYP said the tour will make Stray Kids the first overseas male artist to stage a standalone concert at Tokyo National Stadium, one of Japan's largest venues. The band is expected to draw about 370,000 fans across seven concerts in Japan alone.
Last year, Stray Kids completed its largest-ever world tour, "dominATE," staging 56 shows across 35 cities worldwide.
The band is set to release a new EP, "This & That," on Aug. 7, with the track "Run It" to be unveiled in advance at 1 p.m. Wednesday.
Stray Kids recently performed as a headliner at the Governors Ball Music Festival in New York on June 6 (U.S. time) and is scheduled to appear at Brazil's Rock in Rio festival in September.
