Stray Kids cement global fame with historic shows at LA's SoFi Stadium
K-pop boy group draws tens of thousands across two sold-out shows, solidifying global star power Stray Kids have made history as the first fourth-generation K-pop group to hold a solo concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles — a milestone that reaffirms their growing presence on the global stage. The group performed two back-to-back shows on May 31 and June 1 as part of their world tour, 'Dominate.' Initially, only one concert was planned, but an additional concert was scheduled due to overwhelming demand. SoFi Stadium — home to the NFL's Los Angeles Rams and Chargers and the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics — has previously hosted music legends like The Rolling Stones and Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as global third-generation K-pop stars such as BTS and Twice. In this iconic setting, Stray Kids delivered a powerhouse three-hour performance, taking fans on a 30-song journey from their 2018 debut track 'District 9' to their latest release 'Giant' in March. The SoFi Stadium concert marks a massive leap from March 2023, when Stray Kids held their first North American stadium concert at BMO Stadium in LA as part of their second world tour, 'Maniac.' Just over a year later, the group has returned to the city to perform at SoFi Stadium with more than triple the capacity, highlighting their rapid rise in popularity and commercial success. Following their LA concerts, Stray Kids will head to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, for shows on June 6 and 7. 'Dominate' — spanning 55 shows in 34 cities — is their largest tour to date.

ACL fears and tears after Giants great goes down
GWS great Callan Ward was in tears after suffering a knee injury that looks like ending his storied AFL career. The obvious fear on Saturday afternoon at Engie Stadium was that the former Giants captain had suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear. If that is the case, the 35-year-old will not play again this season. He signed a one-year deal for 2025 and is living apart from his wife and three young children, who are in Melbourne, as he tries to win an elusive premiership. There were emotional scenes in the first term when Ward needed help from trainers to limp from the field. The home fans warmly applauded one of their favourite players, and fellow veteran Giant Lachie Whitfield hugged Ward before he was helped to the rooms. Ward had contested a mark on the outer wing with opponent Hugo Ralphsmith, then the ball went to ground. The Giants veteran's right leg pivoted as he tried to tackle Ralphsmith and he collapsed in agony. All the immediate signs, and all the TV commentary, was that Ward had done an ACL. Ward was one of the Giants' first co-captains when they joined the AFL in 2012 and he has played 326 games - 60 for the Western Bulldogs and 266 for GWS. An ACL tear in his left knee ruined Ward's 2019 season, meaning he missed their only grand final so far, which they lost to the Tigers. GWS kicked the opening goal of Saturday's game, but Richmond piled on the next five to take control in the first quarter after Ward left the field.
