American Express presents BST Hyde Park has announced that South Korean group Stray Kids will headline their main stage on Sunday 14 July for a UK exclusive show.

South Korean boyband Stray Kids were formed by JYP Entertainment through the 2017 reality show of the same name, and are composed of eight members: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. They released their debut EP Mixtape in 2018, and there has been no slowing down since then. In the years that followed Stray Kids have secured four number one spots on the Billboard 200, and in 2023 picked up an MTV Video Music Award for Best K-Pop, as well as a Billboard Music Award for Top K-Pop Album for their latest record, 5-Star.
