Stray Kids is set to make history as the first K-pop boy group to headline two prestigious European music festivals, I-Days in Milan and BST Hyde Park in London, scheduled for July.

I-Days, an iconic festival that began in 1999, has previously featured renowned artists like Green Day, Liam Gallagher, Blink 182, and Justin Bieber. This year's lineup includes legendary band Metallica, Doja Cat, Lana Del Rey, Bring Me The Horizon, and Sum41, and it will now proudly feature Stray Kids as headliners, marking a significant moment for K-pop.

The group's appearance at BST Hyde Park in London is also a groundbreaking achievement, as they become the first K-pop boy group to claim the top spot at one of the world's most prestigious music festivals.

Stray Kids' global presence has been on the rise, as evidenced by their recent participation in the 'Yellow Coin Collection Campaign' (Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes) held at the Accor Arena in Paris, France. The event, chaired by French First Lady Brigitte Macron, aims to raise funds for hospitalized children and adolescents.

With their 3rd full-length album '★★★★★(5-STAR),' Stray Kids made history by topping the US Billboard main chart 'Billboard 200' for three consecutive weeks. Their title track "S-Class" and b-side song "TOPLINE (Feat. Tiger JK)" contributed to this success, along with the chart-topping hit "God's Menu", solidifying their status as performance masters.

Stray Kids continues to make waves globally, achieving remarkable milestones across various indicators. Their music video for the title track "LALALALA" from the mini album '樂-STAR' recently surpassed 100 million views on YouTube, marking their twelfth music video to achieve this feat, a testament to their dominance in the 4th generation of K-pop boy groups.

As if their achievements weren't enough, Stray Kids received nominations in two categories, 'K-Pop Artist of the Year' and 'K-Pop Song of the Year,' at the upcoming '2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards,' following their nomination in the 'Group and Duo of the Year' category at the recent US 'People's Choice Awards.'
