Stray Kids: The World Farewell
Lee Felix Announces His First Solo World Tour for 2026 — Dates and Cities Officially Revealed
The global K-pop landscape shifted overnight as Lee Felix of Stray Kids officially announced his first-ever solo world tour for 2026, titled “The World Farewell.” The announcement, released through JYP Entertainment and Felix’s personal channels, immediately sent shockwaves through the fandom, trending worldwide within minutes and igniting emotional reactions from STAYs across continents.
While Stray Kids continue to dominate charts and stages as a group, The World Farewell carries deeper meaning. According to the official statement, the tour represents Felix’s personal journey, artistic independence, and a symbolic closing chapter before a new era begins — not a departure from Stray Kids, but a pause for reflection, growth, and reconnection with fans on a more intimate level.
A Farewell, Not a Goodbye
Felix addressed fans directly in a handwritten letter released alongside the tour poster.
“This tour is not about leaving,” he wrote. “It’s about thanking the world that raised me. Every city, every voice, every moment — I want to stand alone on stage and give back what you gave me.”
The title The World Farewell has sparked speculation, but insiders clarify that the concept reflects farewell to a phase of life, not the group itself. Felix is expected to return to full group activities later in 2026 after the tour concludes.
A New Sound, A New Stage
Musically, the tour promises a bold fusion of metal-pop, alternative K-pop, cinematic ballads, and experimental performance art — a direction Felix has teased for years. Fans can expect solo versions of unreleased tracks, reimagined Stray Kids songs, and live band arrangements designed specifically for arenas and stadiums.
Production sources describe the tour as visually immersive, blending industrial sets, fire elements, live instruments, and choreographed storytelling that mirrors Felix’s evolution from trainee to global icon.
