The news comes after Stray Kids recently teased plans to release new music and embark on a world tour this year.
Also on the BST Hyde Park 2024 line-up are the previously announced headliners Andrea Bocelli and Robbie Williams. Further acts are set to be confirmed in the coming weeks and months.
Last year saw Stray Kids achieve their first Billboard Hot 100 entry with ‘Lalalala’, a single from their 2023 EP ‘Rock-Star’. They became only the second-ever K-pop boyband to do so, following BTS.
The group’s latest studio album, ‘5-Star’, was released last June. In a glowing five-star review of the record, NME wrote: “Stray Kids are flying so high above the crowd that they’re in a galaxy of their very own, where the parties are endless and the vibes are always five-star.”
Meanwhile, Stray Kids picked up the Global K-pop Artist prize at the 2024 Golden Disc Awards earlier this month. They also put on an explosive performance of ‘Megaverse’, ‘S-Class’ and ‘Hall Of Fame’ at the ceremony.
