JYP Entertainment announced on September 9 that a new music festival headlined by Stray Kids, called 'STRAYCITY,' will begin in Bogotá, Colombia.

The event is co-organized by JYP and the U.S. concert promotion company Live Nation, and it will continue in other major cities across South and Latin America, including Argentina and Mexico.

The name STRAYCITY is inspired by the group's name, 'Stray' from Stray Kids. The festival was launched based on Stray Kids' experience headlining major international music festivals, such as Lollapalooza Paris in France, I-Days in Italy, British Summer Time Hyde Park in the UK, Lollapalooza Chicago, and The Governors Ball Music Festival in the United States.

The first show will be held in Bogotá on the same day. This will be followed by performances in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on September 14-15, and in Mexico City, Mexico, on September 25-26. Stray Kids will serve as the headliner for each event.

Stray Kids will also headline at 'Rock in Rio' in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on September 11. This marks the first time a K-pop artist has participated in this event.

'Rock in Rio' began in 1985 in Rio de Janeiro and has expanded to host events in Lisbon, Portugal; Madrid, Spain; and Las Vegas, United States. Legendary artists such as Queen, Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Muse have previously headlined the festival.

Last year, as part of their world tour 'dominATE,' Stray Kids held eight stadium concerts across five Latin American cities. Through their appearances at STRAYCITY and Rock in Rio, the group will continue their local concert activities.

Recently, Stray Kids' album 'THIS & THAT' topped the U.S. Billboard 200 main album chart. With this achievement, they have now reached number one for nine consecutive albums since their first entry on the chart.
