The KPop Demon Hunters Golden World Tour will open June 5, 2027, at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, taking Netflix’s animated K-pop trio Huntr/x into real-world arenas. Netflix and AEG Presents announced the Mastercard-sponsored production on Friday, confirming an initial schedule of 61 performances across 35 cities.

The North American leg runs through the summer, visiting major venues including Prudential Center in Newark, United Center in Chicago, State Farm Arena in Atlanta and American Airlines Center in Dallas. Canada gets two performances at TD Coliseum in Hamilton on June 26.

Los Angeles will host three shows at Crypto.com Arena on July 30 and 31. The first leg then finishes with two performances at the Tacoma Dome on August 14.

Europe follows in September, beginning at Hallenstadion in Zurich and continuing through Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, France and Ireland. The United Kingdom run starts October 12 at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro before reaching Birmingham, Manchester and London.

Asia Pacific and Latin America dates remain unannounced. Across 2027 and 2028, organizers expect the tour to visit nearly 50 cities and present more than 150 shows. In other words, the current itinerary is not even half the planned operation.

How will animated Huntr/x perform live?

The arena production brings Rumi, Mira and Zoey to the stage using new performance technology designed to let the animated characters interact directly with audiences. Netflix and AEG have not provided a technical manual, which is probably sensible unless ticket buyers have suddenly developed a strong interest in rendering systems.

The show will also feature the animated Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger, along with live-action performers, stunts, choreography and songs from the film. The production is intended to make fans part of the story rather than simply screen the movie on an unusually expensive display.

Rich Schaefer, president of global touring at AEG Presents, said the characters and music already carry considerable meaning for audiences worldwide. He added that the partnership with Netflix would put the music at the center of a live show that allows fans to participate in the adventure.

Creative direction comes from Amy Tinkham, who has worked in live entertainment for more than 25 years. 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. She has also staged live productions for James Taylor, Paul McCartney and Mariah Carey.

Why is Netflix taking the film into arenas?

Netflix released KPop Demon Hunters on June 20, 2025. It has since become the streaming service’s most-watched film, accumulating more than 670 million views.

The film also won best animated feature at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. Its music performed just as aggressively on the charts, which seems appropriate for a story involving pop stars who also fight demons.

“Golden” became the first K-pop song to win both an Oscar and a Grammy. The soundtrack was also the first to place four songs in the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 simultaneously. Collectively, music from the film has passed 15 billion streams worldwide, while “Golden” alone has exceeded 2 billion Spotify streams.

Marian Lee, chief marketing officer at Netflix, described the film as a “generational phenomenon.” She said it had remained in Netflix’s Global Top 10 for 63 consecutive weeks and set the record for the longest-running soundtrack at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Soundtracks chart.

“This fandom was never about a single moment,” Lee said, adding that the tour would bring the film’s “Takedown” energy into arenas where audiences can sing, dance and help Huntr/x “seal the Honmoon.”

Where will the tour play in North America?

The announced North American schedule covers 19 cities from June through August. Several dates include afternoon performances, presumably because demon hunting now has family-friendly scheduling requirements.

When will the remaining dates be announced?

Netflix and AEG Presents have not yet revealed dates for Asia Pacific or Latin America. Those regions will form a substantial part of the eventual schedule, since more than half of the planned performances remain unlisted.

The organizers expect the full production to run across both 2027 and 2028, reaching close to 50 cities and staging more than 150 shows. That leaves the 2028 calendar largely open for now, along with details about additional destinations, venues and ticketing.

For the moment, the confirmed itinerary ends in London on October 23, 2027. Given the film’s viewing figures, streaming totals and awards record, the decision to expand an animated Netflix property into a global arena tour is less surprising than the fact that it took this long to put Derpy Tiger on a touring schedule.
