K-pop sensation Stray Kids dominates Lollapalooza Chicago by storm

K-pop boy group Stray Kids headlined a massive stage at the “Lollapalooza Chicago” music festival in the United States.

On August 2, Stray Kids headlined the Bud Light Stage at the world-renowned music festival “Lollapalooza Chicago,” which took place at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois, attracting an audience of 110,000 people each day of the event.

This marks their third major international festival headlining performance this year, following “I-Days” in Milan, Italy, and “BST Hyde Park” in London, UK. It also highlights their achievement as the first K-pop artist to perform at “Lollapalooza Paris” in July 2023, and being invited as headliners for “Lollapalooza” for two consecutive years.

Stray Kids opened the night in Chicago with the lyrics “This is Seoul city, numerous miracles have come true” from their title track “S-Class” of their 3rd full-length album “5-Star.”

The highlight of the performance was the debut of their 2024 comeback track “Chk Chk Boom,” the title song of their mini-album “ATE,” which has achieved five consecutive No. 1 spots on the Billboard 200. The members enjoyed the stage, further elevating the excitement of the audience.

Meanwhile, local Block Club Chicago reported that fans traveled from across the country and around the world to see the idol perform, including a sibling who flew from Paraguay to see Stray Kids for the first time.
