Stray Kids
About Stray Kids
Stray Kids is a 8-member K-pop boy group under JYP Entertainment, who debuted in 2018. The official fandom name is STAY, and concert lightstick is the Nachimbong.
Tour timeline for US fans
JYP NATION runs the calmest of the major-label fan-club systems — annual membership window in January (3rd to 24th), longer presale windows (5–7 days vs HYBE's 24-hour cliff), and PayPal as a USD payment option that bypasses KCP entirely. The trap: if you decide in March to see Stray Kids in October, the membership gate is locked until the next January. STAY renewal is the single highest-ROI preventative move.
For step-by-step ticket strategy, the Buying K-pop tickets from the US guide covers the timeline that works for every major group; the Fan-club membership checklist is a printable shortlist of the STAY renewal windows you should be tracking before any 2026 tour rumor.
What we're tracking on Stray Kids
Stray Kids is the most NA-frequent of the major 4th-gen groups — we've tracked them through two LA-area shows in the same year multiple times (2023, 2024), with the LA dates often anchored by a Live Nation US flow rather than the standard Ticketmaster K-pop bucket. Practically that means JYP NATION presale codes work for the JYP-managed Korea/JP/SEA legs, but the NA legs have *also* opened a separate Ticketmaster Verified Fan registration in some cycles — registering for both is the safer move.
STAY membership renewal mirrors TWICE (JYP NATION, January-only window), but Stray Kids' tour schedule is denser, so the membership ROI is higher. The group also self-produces (3RACHA — Bang Chan, Changbin, Han), which means album drop cadence is faster than the major HYBE/SM/YG groups; expect 2 full albums + 1 mini per calendar year.
For 2026 we're tracking the dome-show eligibility threshold — Stray Kids hit Tokyo Dome in 2024 and KSPO Dome (Seoul) repeatedly; the next likely upgrade is JP stadium-class venues, which historically forces a Verified Fan layer on the US side.
