SEOUL, July 22 (AJP) - K-pop boy group Stray Kids will launch their latest world tour with five sold-out shows in Seoul before releasing its eight-track EP “THIS & THAT” on Aug. 7, JYP Entertainment said Wednesday.

The “Stray Kids World Tour ” will open at KSPO Dome in Seoul’s Songpa District on July 25, 26 and 29 and Aug. 1 and 2.

The EP will be released at 1 p.m. alongside its title track, “This & That.”

Stray Kids’ in-house production trio 3RACHA, Bang Chan, Changbin and Han, is credited on all eight tracks.

The three members co-wrote and co-composed “FARMING,” with Bang Chan also contributing to the arrangement. A preview released through the group’s recurring “UNVEIL : TRACK” series on July 17 surpassed 1 million views on YouTube in about two days.

The album also includes the pre-release tracks “RUN IT” and “After You,” along with “I Do,” “Way Out,” “The Day” and a festival version of “This & That.”

The tour follows the group’s “dominATE” tour, which comprised 56 shows across 35 stops worldwide.

Stray Kids will also perform at Tokyo’s National Stadium later in August, becoming the first overseas male act to hold a standalone concert at the venue.

The group will return to Latin America in September to headline Brazil’s Rock in Rio and three editions of STRAYCITY, a new festival centered on Stray Kids.

In 2025, Stray Kids became the first act to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with each of its first eight chart entries.
