Stray Kids: K-Pop group confirmed for UK appearance in 2024 - when are they playing, ticketing information

BST 2024, the curated festival held in London’s Hyde Park annually, has confirmed that K-Pop group Stray Kids will be part of this year’s event - marking them as the second South Korean act to headline a UK festival since BLACKPINK at BST 2023. It also marks the debut UK performance from the group, who have been topping the charts in the United States throughout 2023.

Jim King, the CEO of European Festivals at AEG Presents, stated that they’re excited to welcome the international superstars: “Stray Kids to BST Hyde Park in July for the first time! We’re honoured to bring Stray Kids to the stage in 2024, as this genre only continues to grow from strength to strength”.

Stray Kids have also stated that they are excited to play at the event this year; in a message to their UK fans, they said: “We cannot wait to see you at BST Hyde Park! This is our first time performing at a UK festival and it is such an honour to play in Hyde Park where so many legends have played before us. Come dance with us!”

In 2023, Stray Kids had a remarkable year, with their debut Japanese album "The Sound" reaching double platinum and their third Korean album "5-Star" topping charts globally, selling over 5 million copies. They won Best K-Pop Video at the MTV VMAs for "S-Class." 

The group held successful fan meetings and embarked on an all-dome concert tour. Their Japanese EP, "Social Path / Super Bowl," became the first million-certified record in Japan. They also featured on Lil Durk's "All My Life" remix. In November, their EP "Rock-Star" achieved chart-topping success in South Korea and the United States. Stray Kids received the Prime Minister's Commendation at the Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards and participated in the 74th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
