Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation are taking KPop Demon Hunters on the road, with the HUNTR/X group set to tour in 2027 on what has been branded the KPop Demon Hunters Golden World Tour. The arena tour is scheduled from June through October and spans 35 cities and 61 performances, opening on June 5 in Baltimore before stops in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Orlando, Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Hamilton, Ontario, with a run through Europe and the UK planned for September.
Ticketing will be staged in phases, beginning with a Mastercard pre-sale on Wednesday, November 18 at 10:00 a.m. local time. A fan pre-sale follows on November 19, and general on-sale begins Friday, November 20 at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. Mastercard is sponsoring the tour, which a press release describes as a next-generation K-pop concert experience.S1S2
The show is pitched as more than a concert. According to the announcement, Rumi, Mira and Zoey will be brought to life through cutting-edge performance technology combined with animation, live-action stunts and performers, and audience participation, with fans invited to help HUNTR/X seal the Honmoon. Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger are also set to appear, and Amy Tinkham, whose credits include Disney's Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour and Cirque du Soleil's Songblazers, is leading the creative direction.S1S2
Significant questions remain unanswered. Fans have not been told who will actually sing on stage, whether the performance will include new music, or whether it will be animated, and the announcement offers few details beyond the five songs it features. Huntr/x vocal performers EJAE, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna are working on KPop Demon Hunters 2, and there is no confirmation that they will perform on tour.S1
Netflix's chief marketing officer Marian Lee framed the tour as a way to sustain a phenomenon that has grown well beyond a single hit moment. Additional Golden World Tour shows in Asia Pacific and Latin America will be announced at a later date, bringing the total to nearly 50 cities and more than 150 performances across 2027 and 2028.S2
