Netflix takes KPop Demon Hunters into arenas for 150 shows, and Australia is still waiting for its dates
Netflix and AEG Presents have announced the KPop Demon Hunters Golden World Tour, more than 150 arena shows across nearly 50 cities in 2027 and 2028. The first 61 shows, in North America, the UK and Europe, go on sale next week, starting in Baltimore on 5 June 2027. Asia Pacific dates, which is where any Australian shows would sit, are still to be announced.
Three things to know
- The tour opens at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore on 5 June 2027 and reaches 35 cities in 13 countries in its first leg, ending at London's O2 in late October 2027.
- Most Saturday stops have two shows, one of them a matinee, timed for younger fans and their parents.
- Netflix has not said who will sing. The show features the animated HUNTR/X trio of Rumi, Mira and Zoey, with live-action stunts and performers.
The most-watched film in Netflix’s history is going on the road. Netflix and the concert promoter AEG Presents announced on Friday that KPop Demon Hunters will become a touring arena show, with more than 150 performances in nearly 50 cities across 2027 and 2028.
The first leg covers 61 shows in 35 cities. It opens with two shows at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore on Saturday 5 June 2027, crosses North America through July and August, then moves to Europe in September, with stops in Zurich, Milan, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and Dublin, before UK dates in Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and three shows at London’s O2 on 22 and 23 October.
Asia Pacific and Latin America dates are “to be announced”, Netflix said.
What will fans actually see?
The show is built around HUNTR/X, the film’s animated girl group of Rumi, Mira and Zoey, along with the Saja Boys and Derpy the tiger. Netflix promises live-action stunts and performers alongside them. Amy Tinkham, who has more than 25 years in touring shows and whose credits include Cirque du Soleil’s Songblazers, is creative director.
What Netflix has not said is who will sing. The film’s songs were recorded by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, and the announcement does not say whether they will appear.
The schedule is built for families: most Saturday stops have two shows, one of them a matinee.
Netflix’s marketing chief, Marian Lee, said the tour was how the fandom would “keep it going”.
How big is KPop Demon Hunters?
Released on 20 June 2025, the film has passed 670 million views and spent 63 weeks in Netflix’s global top 10, the streamer says. It won best animated feature at the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes and the Critics’ Choice Awards. Its song Golden spent eight weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and, according to Netflix, became the first K-pop track to win both an Oscar and a Grammy.
When are tickets on sale, and what about Australia?
For the 61 announced shows, a Mastercard presale opens on Wednesday 18 November at 10am local time, a fan presale for registered fans on Thursday 19 November, and general sale on Friday 20 November, all at 10am local time. Ticket prices were not announced.
