STAY, are you ready to relive the DominATE tour? If you went to Stray Kids‘ LA concert at SoFi this year, you might remember additional camera crews running around. Fans have been speculating about the possibility of the group releasing a concert film. Now it’s official! With a global theatrical release planned for early 2026, the epic concert film, titled “Stray Kid: The DominATE Experience” will feature the global K-pop sensation and their sold-out SoFi Stadium performances, as well as behind-the-scenes footage.
As a STAY who went to their LA tour, I am beyond excited to see this tour on the big screen. During previous tours in LA, Stray Kids have performed at the KIA Forum and BMO Stadium. Seeing them perform at a large venue such SoFi Stadium made me so happy and proud of how far they have come. The stage design for the DominATE tour was spectacular, especially with the inflatable Giant looming over the stage during their performance of “GIANT”.
This film, in collaboration with Bleeckers Street’s Crosswalk and Universal Pictures Content Group, will be directed by award-winning filmmaker Paul Dugdale (Adele: One Night Only, Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour), with documentary segments directed by Farah X (The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion), and is produced by Live Nation Studios.
The concert film is slated for an early 2026 worldwide release in theaters, including IMAX! Talk about Stray Kids everywhere, all around the world. So, if you weren’t able to experience the DominATE tour, now it’s your chance! Plus, seeing it in IMAX will satisfy your desire to see the performances up close, with no obstructed views.
I know I’ll be there with my Nachimbong.
