The canceled 2020 European tour included Madrid, Berlin, London, Brussels, Paris and Moscow. As the tweet explicitly states “resumes”, the aforementioned cities are highly likely to be included.

Earlier reports also speculated that the group will be returning with a repackaged album in November. Stray Kids being Stray Kids, however, managed to stay tight-lipped about the comeback in multiple fan video calls.
