'The dominATE Experience' trailer proves Stray Kids were built for the big screen

A Stray Kids concert is the kind that lingers long after the final encore, and now it’s getting the cinematic treatment it deserves.

The first trailer for Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience is here, and as someone who saw this tour four times across four different cities, including the Los Angeles stop at SoFi Stadium, it immediately dropped me back into the controlled chaos that defines a Stray Kids concert.

Speaking from personal experience, the trailer captures what made the world tour such a defining moment for Stray Kids: momentum. These weren't shows that eased you in. They hit hard from the jump, stacking explosive choreography, blistering rap verses, and emotional pivots into a set designed to never let the energy dip. Bang Chan anchoring the chaos, Changbin and Han trading rapid-fire intensity, Hyunjin and Felix commanding the stage with physicality and presence, Lee Know's razor-sharp movement, Seungmin delivering steady vocals while casually instigating chaos, and I.N grounding it all with sincerity — every member played a specific role in keeping that engine running.

And now, fans will get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how they brought it all together.

Anchored by footage from the sold-out SoFi Stadium performances in Los Angeles, the film documents a turning point for the K-pop act. Seeing Stray Kids command a venue of that size on their first global stadium tour made clear just how far they've grown not only as performers, but as artists confident enough to trust their own vision on the biggest possible stage.

Directed by Paul Dugdale (Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour) and featuring documentary segments directed by Farah X (The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion), The Dominant Experience is built for scale. The film opens globally on Feb. 6, 2026, screening in IMAX®, SCREENX, 4DX, and ULTRA 4DX where available. (Do I want to be physically pelted in the back every time the bass drops or Changbin spits a verse? Honestly...maybe.)

Tickets are already on sale at STRAYKIDSMOVIE.COM, and if the trailer is any indication, this concert film is a snapshot of Stray Kids at full force.
