Stray Kids Halt Remaining <dominATE> World Tour Dates Due to Health Issues, Global Fans React with Concern and Support
June 2, 2025
In a major and unexpected development, Stray Kids have announced the cancellation of all remaining shows on their <dominATE> World Tour, citing serious health issues affecting several group members.
The news was confirmed by JYP Entertainment, who released a formal statement early Monday. According to the agency, the decision was made following ongoing medical evaluations that revealed signs of physical and mental exhaustion among multiple members. “Several artists have been dealing with continuous fatigue, vocal complications, and symptoms of extreme burnout,” the statement read. “After discussions with healthcare professionals, we have chosen to halt the tour to ensure their full recovery.”
This cancellation affects high-profile performances scheduled in cities such as New York, Chicago, Toronto, Amsterdam, London, Paris, and Rome, many of which were completely sold out.
Fans Respond with an Outpouring of Support
The announcement quickly gained momentum on social media, triggering emotional responses from fans—known as STAYs—worldwide. While disappointment was evident, the overwhelming sentiment was one of compassion.
“It hurts to hear this, but their health matters most,” wrote one fan on social media.
“Wishing Stray Kids strength and healing. We’ll wait for you no matter how long it takes,” another commented.
Hashtags like #HealthFirstForSKZ, #SKZRestWell, and #STAYWithYou quickly began trending across platforms like Twitter and Instagram.
Refunds and Future Plans
JYP Entertainment confirmed that ticket holders will receive full refunds for the affected concerts, and those who purchased through official channels will be contacted directly. While a timeline for a possible return to touring has not been given, the agency noted that they will consider new dates “when the group is ready.”
This marks a rare pause in the group’s otherwise meteoric rise on the global stage. Although the news came as a blow to fans eagerly awaiting their performances, the decision has sparked widespread praise for putting the artists’ health above all else.
For now, the Stray Kids fandom continues to rally behind the group, reminding them they are not alone in this journey to healing.
