Stray Kids closed the Palco Mundo at Rock in Rio 2026 in the early hours of this Saturday (12), making their festival debut with a performance defined by closeness to the crowd, a live band and plenty of interaction in Portuguese.Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N began their festival appearance before they even reached the main stage. The group passed through an area near the audience, prompting the first huge reaction from fans packed into the front of the space.On stage, the eight-member group delivered a high-impact setlist, with versions bolstered by a live band. Songs performed included “God’s Menu”, “MANIAC”, “This or That” and “Chk Chk Boom”, along with other hits that received new arrangements for the night.The combination of choreography, rap, electronic music and heavier instrumentation gave the performance an energy close to a rock show, without moving away from the K-pop identity that brought the STAYs to the Palco Mundo. Lightsticks stayed lit from start to finish in front of a packed crowd.Portuguese became a central part of the connection with the Brazilian audience. Bang Chan reacted to the crowd with a “caraca”, played with Brazilian expressions throughout the set and even led a snippet of Michel Teló’s “Ai Se Eu Te Pego”, repeating a hallmark of Stray Kids’ visits to Brazil.Felix also had one of the night’s most talked-about moments when he performed the “Passinho do Jamal” on stage. The member had already joined the trend on social media months earlier and brought the choreography before the Brazilian crowd, drawing fresh screams from the audience.The performance capped a historic date for Rock in Rio, with the main stage almost entirely dedicated to K-pop and Stray Kids in the closing slot of the early morning.
