Stray Kids Announces 2027 Concert in Paris

The South Korean K-pop sensation Stray Kids has officially announced a massive return to the French capital scheduled for Friday, July 9, 2027. Following previous high-profile performances in the country, the group will take over Europe's largest indoor venue, Paris La Défense Arena, for a single, highly anticipated concert during their brand-new world tour titled "RUN IT."

Fans eager to secure their seats for the upcoming performance can look forward to several ticketing windows opening in mid-November. The exclusive presale for STAY fan club members is set to begin on November 18 at 11:00 AM. Additionally, a free artist presale open to the general public will open later that afternoon at 3:00 PM, though registration is required in advance by November 15. General ticket sales will officially launch on November 19.

This upcoming 2027 stop follows a history of major French performances for the group. Stray Kids previously energized crowds during a two-night stint at the Stade de France in the summer of 2025. Before that, they made notable appearances in the capital at Paris La Défense Arena for Music Bank in April 2023 and at Lollapalooza Paris in July of the same year.

The Paris performance is just one of several major international stops on the global itinerary. Alongside France, the "RUN IT" tour will bring the group to cities such as London, Munich, Vienna, Barcelona, and Milan, in addition to scheduled dates across Asia and the United States.

While excitement for the tour is running high, the group may be missing one of its prominent members. Recent announcements indicate that Lee Know is scheduled to begin his mandatory military service during the first quarter of 2027. Consequently, he may be absent from group activities during that period.

Addressing the situation on social networks, the group shared, "Lee Know's mandatory military service is scheduled for the first quarter of the year 2027. He may therefore not be able to be present during the group's various activities at this time." The statement added that despite his departure, he plans to maintain contact with fans through various channels and individual projects.

Formed in 2017 by JYP Entertainment, Stray Kids released their debut EP, "Mixtape," in 2018. The boy band quickly rose to global prominence with subsequent studio albums like "Go Live" in 2020 and "Noeasy" in 2021, which topped South Korean charts and reached high positions on the Billboard World Albums chart. Since then, they have continued to release hit records, including "5-Star," "Giant," and "Karma."
