Stray Kids will once again shine their reputation as a ‘global top artist’ by participating in a French charity concert.

 

On January 22 (local time), Stray Kids will take part in "Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes", held at Paris La Défense Arena. This charity concert is hosted by the Opération Pièces Jaunes, a French hospital foundation chaired by French First Lady Brigitte Macron, and aims to raise funds to support hospitalized children and adolescents.

 

This year, Stray Kids joins a star-studded lineup that includes G-Dragon, Christina Aguilera, and A$AP Rocky.

 

Their appearance draws extra attention as it marks their second participation in the event, following their first performance at the charity gala in 2024, when they became the first K-pop boy group to perform at the event. From being the first K-pop headliner at Lollapalooza Paris in July 2023, to appearing at the Yellow Coins Gala in January 2024, and holding a solo stadium concert for 120,000 fans at Stade de France in July 2025 as part of their <dominATE> world tour, Stray Kids has expanded their presence in France year after year. Their upcoming 2026 appearance is expected to heat up the local scene once again.

 

Stray Kids hinted at these major performances through their New Year plan video, "Stray Kids ‘STEP OUT 2026’", released on January 1 via official SNS channels. The group is set to headline major music festivals across the globe, starting with France’s charity gala in January, followed by The Governors Ball Music Festival in New York in June, and Rock in Rio, one of Brazil’s largest music festivals, in September.

 

As their latest albums continue to maintain long-running success on the Billboard 200, Stray Kids is already off to a flying start in 2026, drawing even more attention to their global impact.
