The K-Pop idol group who swept the Korean rookie awards in 2018, are coming to Australia for their concert 'Unveil Tour: I Am'.


The K-Pop idol group who swept the Korean rookie awards in 2018, will hold their “Unveil Tour: I Am …” in Melbourne on 21 February, followed by another one in Sydney on 24 February.


Stray Kids is a nine-member band composed of Woojin, Lee Know, Hyunjin, Bang Chan, Changbin, Felix, Han, I.N and Seungmin that debuted in March 2018 with the album “I Am Not.” With powerful choreography and raps propelling their lyrics of youthful angst on songs like “District 9” and “Hellevator,” the group’s ferocity belied the fact that they represent the future of K-pop.

Stray kids have won eight rookie of the year awards at the MBC Plus X Genie Music Awards, 2018 Asia Artist Awards, 2018 Mnet Asian Music Awards, 33rd Golden Disc Awards, 2019 Seoul Music Awards, Soribada Best K-Music Awards and 2019 Korea First Brand Awards. 

K-Entertainment also look into the final result of 'Australia Decides'.

Australia has chosen classically trained singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke, 37, as its Eurovision representative.
Miller-Heidke won the nationally televised competition to represent Australia at this year's Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held in May in Tel Aviv.

Eurovision is the world's largest television music competition.

Despite being a European contest, Australia has been competing in Eurovision since 2015.

Australia's inclusion is in recognition of the country's large fan base. Three million Aussies watched Eurovision last year.

The three previous Australian entrants all finished in the top 10, with Dami Im finishing second in 2016.
