On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, HITS Daily Double hinted at Stray Kids allegedly turning down Coachella 2025 due to their ongoing dominATE World Tour 2024-2025. The American music industry trade publication stated that Coachella might announce next year's lineup earlier than usual after it posted a picture of palm trees swaying on November 19, 2024.
HITS Daily Double speculated the most probable lineup for the upcoming music festival and stated Stray Kids would have been a great fit into the Coachella 2025 lineup, however, their tour dates may make it impossible.
"Obtaining this echelon of talent has become more difficult in recent years, and artists that could have fit the proverbial bill such as Oasis, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Shakira and Stray Kids are all doing their own L.A.-area stadium dates instead"

Fans of the K-pop group were thrilled over the possibility of the GIANT group headlining the biggest music festival of the year. Although being aware of the new dominATE World Tour dates, announced on November 19, one fan wrote on X:
"If stray kids weren't touring they'd be performing at coachella (festival contracts often have radius clauses that don't allow artists to perform in a certain area for a certain amount of time). the demand for skz is real and high: a song for arcane, deadpool, the met gala"
Fans highlighted how every music festival wants the ATE K-pop band to headline their shows.
"Stray Kids are always named amongst the top 2 K-pop groups, breaking records and always the first choice. Others are always following in their footsteps (show appearances, achievements) or second choice. I don't even know why the discourse exists." a fan wrote.
"ON MY KNEES FOR STRAY KIDS TO HEADLINE COACHELLA," another fan said.
"Everyone wants Stray Kids - a top echelon talent but it’s proven they are too busy and booked with their own 3rd World Tour, which covers Asia, LATAM, Europe and North America," another fan added.
Others expressed their desire to see the band at Coachella 2025.
"Skz at Coachella isn’t a want but a it needs to happen! WE WANT STRAY KIDS," one fan commented.
"They’re literally ‘performance monster’ and that’s why every festival is fighting for their lives to have stray kids as their headliners," another fan remarked.
"When you're relevant and in high demand, you don't need a push from your agency to attend festivals. The festivals will come looking for you," one other fan stated.
