Netflix is taking its hit animated phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters from the screen to the stage with a newly announced worldwide concert tour created alongside AEG Presents.
The live production will transform elements from the award-winning movie into an immersive concert event for fans around the world. While official tour stops and dates have not yet been revealed, Netflix confirmed that more details, including ticket sale information, will arrive later this year. A fan waitlist has already launched for updates.
The animated film became one of the platform’s biggest successes, earning recognition for Best Animated Feature at both the Oscars and Golden Globes. Its breakout song, “Golden,” also made history as the first K-pop track to win both a Grammy Award and an Academy Award. The soundtrack went on to become the top-performing soundtrack release of 2025, while the movie itself turned into Netflix’s most-streamed title of the year.
Netflix company executive Amy Reinhard highlighted the cultural impact of the project, saying, “Obviously, nothing has captured the world, the world’s attention quite like ‘KPop Demon Hunters.’” She pointed to fan sing-alongs, Halloween costumes, mentions during the U.S. Open, and even increased travel interest in South Korea as signs of the film’s global reach. Reinhard added that the upcoming concerts are designed to bring audiences “even closer to the characters and the music that they love.”
The story centers on fictional K-pop trio Huntr/x — Rumi, Mira, and Zoey — who secretly battle supernatural forces while maintaining their lives as pop stars. Their biggest challenge comes from a rival boy band that is actually made up of demons disguised as idols. The cast features Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, and singers EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami providing the characters’ vocals.
Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans and produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the movie debuted in June 2025 and quickly became a massive hit. It reportedly reached more than 325 million views during its first 91 days on Netflix and also earned nearly $25 million from a limited theatrical release.
