KPop Demon Hunters is jumping from the screen to the stage. The wildly popular Netflix animated movie will hit the road in 2027 for the Kpop Demon Hunters Golden World tour, slated to kick off on June 4 in Baltimore, Md. and crisscross North America with shows in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Orlando, Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Las Vegas before hopping to Europe and the U.K. for shows in the fall.
The tour is currently slated to wind down on Oct. 22-23 with three shows at The O2 in London.
A release announcing the dates promised that it will feature the movie’s beloved songs and bring to life the film’s three animated stars, Rumi, Mira and Zoey. They will, “ interact with the audience through cutting-edge performance innovations that bring this fan-favorite K-pop girl group to life like never before,” according to the release, which notes that their fellow animated co-stars, the Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger, will also make appearances.

“Every fan in attendance will play a part to show the world How It’s Done, Done, Done!” the release continued. “More than a concert, this is a first-of-its-kind production that immerses fans in the storytelling with live-action stunts and performers, fan-favorite music and choreography and special performances.”
The movie’s breakout hit single, “Golden,” performed by the fictional group HUNTR/X and sung by real-life vocalists EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The soundtrack also made history after it became the first to generate four simultaneous Hot 100 top 10 hits with “Golden,” “Soda Pop,” “Your Idol” and “How It’s Done.”
Presented by Netflix and AEG Presents, the tour — which will announce additional international stops in Asia and Latin America at a later date — will hit nearly 50 cities for 150 performances in 2027 and 2028. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. local time; click here for details. There will also be a Mastercard presale beginning on Nov. 18 at 10 a.m. local time, as well as a FOR THE FANS presale beginning on Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. local time.

“KPop Demon Hunters has transformed from a breakout hit into a generational phenomenon — sustaining 63 consecutive weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10, eclipsing 2 billion Spotify streams for ‘Golden’ and breaking the all-time record for the longest running soundtrack at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Soundtracks chart,” said Netflix’s chief marketing officer, Marian Lee, in a statement. “This fandom was never about a single moment, and the Golden World Tour is how we keep it going – bringing that ‘Takedown’ energy to arenas around the world, where fans can sing, dance and help HUNTR/X seal the Honmoon.”
Rich Schaefer, president of global touring for AEG Presents added, “KPop Demon Hunters has become a global phenomenon, with characters and music that already mean so much to fans around the world. We’re excited to work with Netflix to bring that world to life on tour, with the music at the heart of a show that makes fans part of the adventure. The Golden World Tour gives us the chance to create something special for this incredible audience and bring fans of every generation together to experience it.”
