Netflix’s hit animated feature K-Pop Demon Hunters is officially heading out on a massive world tour starting in 2027.
According to reports from US media outlet Variety on November 13 (local time), Netflix and AEG Presents announced that the ‘Golden World Tour’ for ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ will kick off on June 5, 2027, at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore.
The production brings the fictional K-pop group ‘Huntr/x’ directly to live audiences, with the first leg comprising 61 shows across 35 cities. The North American tour will run throughout the summer, stopping at major venues such as the Prudential Center in Newark, the United Center in Chicago, the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, and the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Moving into Canada, they will perform two shows at Hamilton’s TD Coliseum on June 26. In Los Angeles, three shows are scheduled at the Crypto.com Arena on July 30 and 31, wrapping up the North American leg at the Tacoma Dome on August 14.
The European tour opens on September 1 at the Hallenstadion in Zurich, followed by dates in Milan, Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Oslo, Cologne, Brussels, Paris, and Dublin. The UK leg begins on October 12 at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, moving through Birmingham and Manchester, and concluding with a three-night run at London’s O2 Arena on October 22-23.
Schedules for the Asia-Pacific and Latin America legs will be announced at a later date. The overall tour plans to hold over 150 performances across approximately 50 cities throughout 2027 and 2028.
Netflix Chief Marketing Officer Marion Lee stated, “‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ has evolved from a surprise hit into a generational syndrome. It spent 63 consecutive weeks on the Netflix Global Top 10, the track ‘Golden’ surpassed 2 billion Spotify streams, and it broke the record for the longest-running #1 on the Billboard Top Soundtracks chart.”
She added, “This fandom was never a one-off, and the ‘Golden World Tour’ is our way of keeping that momentum going. We are bringing the energy of ‘Takedown’ to arenas worldwide, allowing fans to sing, dance, and help Huntr/x seal away the ‘Hormun’.”
The production utilizes innovative performance technology that allows animated characters to interact directly with audiences, bringing Rumi, Mira, and Zoi to the arena stage. Alongside the film’s songs, dance routines, live-action performers, and stunts, animated characters like ‘Saja Boys’ and ‘Duffy’ will also make appearances.
Creative direction will be led by Amy Tinkham. With over 25 years of experience in live entertainment, her credits include Disney’s ‘Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour’, Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Songblazers’, Aerosmith’s ‘Peace Out’ tour, and ‘Bob Marley Hope Road’, as well as staging live shows for James Taylor, Paul McCartney, and Mariah Carey.
Released on Netflix on June 20, 2025, ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ recorded over 670 million cumulative views, becoming the most-watched film in Netflix history. It swept Best Animated Feature awards at the Academy Awards (Oscars), Golden Globes, and Critics’ Choice Awards. The track ‘Golden’ became the first K-pop song to win an Oscar and a Grammy simultaneously, and the soundtrack became the first album to place four songs simultaneously in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10. Cumulative global streaming for its related music has exceeded 15 billion plays.
