Stray Kids heated up New York City, once again proving their status as headliners of a massive music festival.

On June 6 (local time), Stray Kids performed as the headliner at The Governors Ball Music Festival held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in New York, beautifully wrapping up the second day of the event.

The Governors Ball Music Festival is New York's largest outdoor music festival, with this year's entire three-day run completely selling out. Stray Kids joined the star-studded headliner lineup alongside global artists such as Lorde, A$AP Rocky, Baby Keem, Kali Uchis, and JENNIE.

Approximately 45,000 spectators gathered for the performance that day. Stray Kids made a grand entrance and heated up the venue with consecutive performances of their hit songs, including "TOPLINE (Feat. Tiger JK)," "S-Class," "Bounce Back," "MANIAC," "DOMINO," and "Thunderous." In particular, during their performances of "DIVINE," "Walkin On Water," and "God's Menu," they added visual delight by incorporating traditional Korean elements such as hansam (traditional long-sleeved dance wear) and sansuhwa (landscape painting) fabric into their costumes and props.

Stray Kids has consistently showcased their powerful presence by headlining a series of major global music festivals, including Lollapalooza Paris, I-Days, BST Hyde Park, Lollapalooza Chicago, and now The Governors Ball Music Festival.

Meanwhile, Stray Kids is set to take the stage as a headliner at Brazil's representative music festival, "Rock in Rio," this September. They will also connect with global fans through "STRAYCITY," a new festival to be held in Bogota, Colombia; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Mexico City, Mexico.
