Fan reactions to the Newark concerts

While most fans were impressed by the long and impressive setlists in the Newark concerts, some were upset about certain omissions as compared to the Seoul concerts.

For instance, Korean fans who attended the MANIAC concerts witnessed Silent Cry from Stray Kids' album NOEASY and Double Knot from Levanter. The two songs were absent from the Newark setlists, leading to STAY (fans of the group) complaining on Twitter.

The two songs happen to be fan favorites, and STAY, who have been looking forward to watching live performances of the same, were disappointed. Several fans also decided to introduce their own favorite songs to the Twitter conversation, hoping that setlist will change for the upcoming tour dates.

Whether or not the setlist will undergo changes for the upcoming concerts of Stray Kids' American leg of the tour remains unclear, but fans are hoping that they get to witness their desired songs being performed by the eight-member group. The group has concerts approaching in Chicago, Atlanta, Fort Worth (Texas), Inglewood, Oakland, Seattle, and Anaheim.

On June 28, Stray Kids leader Bang Chan spoke about how creatively contributing to their albums had led to a sense of satisfaction when performing the songs on stage. The statement reflects the utter pride and joy the band members feel when they show bits of themselves through music.

Keeping this in mind, fans will surely enjoy the concerts that they wish to attend. The tour will conclude after the Stray Kids concert at Tokyo's Yoyogi National 1st Gymnasium on July 27, 2022.
