The animated girl group that conquered streaming is about to step off the screen. Netflix announced on Saturday that the KPop Demon Hunters Golden World Tour will open on June 5, 2027, in Baltimore, kicking off a run of more than 150 performances in nearly 50 cities across North America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America through 2027 and 2028.
For now, 61 shows across North America and Europe, running from June to October, have been confirmed. Dates for the other regions will be announced later.
Not a screening — a show
This is not a concert film projected in an arena. Produced by Netflix with AEG Presents, the production is designed to blend animation with advanced stage technology, live stunts and professional dancers to recreate the film’s supernatural world. Fans will get to meet Huntrix — Rumi, Mira and Zoey, the pop stars who secretly protect their audience from demons — as well as their rivals, the Saja Boys, and the fan-favorite Derpy Tiger.
The show is also meant to be interactive: concertgoers are invited to sing and dance along and help Huntrix seal the Honmoon, the magical barrier at the heart of the story. The tour will be directed by Amy Tinkham, whose 25-year career includes live productions for Disney, Cirque du Soleil, Aerosmith, Paul McCartney and Mariah Carey.
From breakout hit to phenomenon
The numbers explain why Netflix is betting on a stage version. Since its release on June 20, 2025, the animated musical has passed 670 million views on the platform, according to the company, making it Netflix’s most-watched film ever. Its soundtrack has racked up more than 15 billion streams worldwide.
Netflix chief marketing officer Marian Lee called the film a “generational phenomenon” and said the tour will bring its “Takedown” energy to arenas around the world so fans can take part in the story together.
For a fanbase that has spent more than a year singing along at home, the idea of shouting the choruses alongside thousands of others may be the most tempting part. Baltimore gets the first night — the rest of the world will be watching the schedule closely.
