Netflix is officially taking KPop Demon Hunters beyond the screen. During its 2026 Upfront presentation, the streaming giant confirmed plans for a massive global concert tour inspired by the hit animated franchise, with performances set to reach 150 cities worldwide in 2027.
The newly announced KPop Demon Hunters World Concert Tour will transform the fictional universe of the film into a live arena experience, combining performances from the soundtrack with choreography, visuals, and storytelling tied directly to the movie’s demon-slaying concept. Netflix described the production as a large-scale collaboration with AEG Presents, signaling ambitions far beyond a traditional promotional tour.
A dedicated website for the project has already launched, teasing fans with the message: “Netflix and AEG Presents join forces to bring KPop Demon Hunters to life in the official global tour.” Visitors can now sign up for updates ahead of future announcements surrounding cities, dates, and ticket sales expected later this year.
The announcement arrives after KPop Demon Hunters evolved from an animated film into one of the most commercially successful music-driven franchises of the decade. Central to that explosion was “Golden,” the breakout soundtrack single performed by Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami as the fictional group Huntrix.
Released on July 4, 2025, through Republic Records, “Golden” quickly became a global phenomenon. The track reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and topped charts in more than 30 countries, including the United States, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Worldwide sales surpassed 10 million copies, while the song maintained an unusually long chart lifespan, spending 18 non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Global 200 between July and December 2025.
Its cultural reach extended far beyond streaming numbers. Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami performed the track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. Awards momentum followed shortly after. “Golden” earned wins at the Golden Globe Awards, Critics Choice Awards, and Academy Awards before making Grammy history at the 68th Grammy Awards, where it won Best Song Written for Visual Media and became the first K-pop song ever to win a Grammy.
