Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters” is heading to arenas, with the Golden World Tour set to kick off June 5, 2027 at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Netflix and AEG Presents announced Friday. The show presented by Mastercard puts the animated K-pop trio from the film Huntr/x in front of a live audience.
The first list of dates covers 35 cities and 61 performances. The North American leg runs throughout the summer, with stops including the Prudential Center in Newark, the United Center in Chicago, the State Farm Arena in Atlanta and the American Airlines Center in Dallas. He will also cross Canada for two shows at the TD Coliseum in Hamilton on June 26. Los Angeles will have three performances at the Crypto.com Arena on July 30 and 31 and the leg will take place at the Tacoma Dome on August 14.
The tour will begin in Europe on September 1 at the Hallenstadion in Zurich, visiting Milan, Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Oslo, Cologne, Brussels, Paris and Dublin. The UK tour kicks off on October 12 at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow and continues to Birmingham and Manchester before finishing with three shows at London’s O2 on October 22 and 23.
Dates in Asia Pacific and Latin America have not yet been announced. In 2027 and 2028, the tour is expected to reach nearly 50 cities and feature more than 150 shows.
“’KPop Demon Hunters’ went from a smash hit to a generational phenomenon – remaining 63 consecutive weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10, eclipsing 2 billion Spotify streams for ‘Golden’ and breaking the all-time record for longest-running soundtrack at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Soundtracks chart,” said Marian Lee, Netflix chief marketing officer. “This fandom has never been limited to a single moment, and the Golden World Tour is our way to keep it going – bringing that ‘Takedown’ energy to arenas around the world, where fans can sing, dance and help Huntr/x seal the Honmoon.”
The production brings Rumi, Mira and Zoey to the arena stages, using new performance techniques that allow the animated characters to interact directly with the crowd. The Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger cartoons also appear, alongside live performers and stunts, dance routines and songs from the film.
Rich Schaefer, president of global touring for AEG Presents, said the property has become a global phenomenon whose characters and music already mean a lot to fans. “We’re thrilled to be working with Netflix to bring this world to life on tour, with music at the heart of a show that brings fans along for the ride,” he said.
Creative direction comes from Amy Tinkham, whose 25 years of entertainment experience includes 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 shows for James Taylor, Paul McCartney and Mariah Carey.
Released on Netflix on June 20, 2025, “KPop Demon Hunters” is the streamer’s most-watched film with over 670 million views. It won Best Animated Feature Film at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, and Critics Choice Awards. “Golden” made history as the first K-pop song to win an Oscar as well as a Grammy, while the soundtrack was the first to place four songs in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. The music has exceeded 15 billion streams worldwide.
