According to their agency, JYP Entertainment (JYP), on the 14th, Stray Kids performed at “Rock in Rio,” held on the 11th (all times local) at the Olympic Park in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
“Rock in Rio” is a large-scale music festival that has been running since 1985. This year’s lineup featured world-renowned musicians such as Calvin Harris, Black Eyed Peas, Maroon 5, and Elton John.
