Stray Kids' STRAYCITY Festival Hits 3 Countries: Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Mexico City Next

Stray Kids wrapped back-to-back nights at a Buenos Aires racetrack this week, and the headline is that they did it under their own festival brand. STRAYCITY, a music festival co-produced with Live Nation, kicked off on the 9th in Bogotá, Colombia before moving to San Isidro Hippodrome in Argentina for the 14th and 15th.

The setup was more than a standard arena show. JYP Entertainment confirmed that Stray Kids performed their catalog backed by a live band, pulling sing-alongs from Latin American crowds on tracks like Miroh, God's Menu, and MANIAC, all produced by 3RACHA, the in-group production unit of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han.

NEXZ steps in as supporting act

Fellow JYP group NEXZ also joined the festival, running a 40-minute set covering over ten songs including Beat-Boxer and SAUCIN'. NEXZ, a seven-member group that debuted in 2024, doesn't have the kind of Latin American fanbase Stray Kids has spent years building, so the STRAYCITY slot is a real exposure opportunity. JYP stacking two of its acts on the same bill in the same region is a move worth watching.

STRAYCITY moves to Mexico City on the 25th and 26th to close out the run. Three countries, one branded festival, a junior group getting regional airtime, Stray Kids are not just touring Latin America, they're setting up a recurring property there.
