Netflix is teaming up with live entertainment powerhouse AEG Presents to launch a worldwide concert tour based on KPop Demon Hunters. The announcement, made during Netflix’s recent upfront presentation in New York, promises to transform the film’s vibrant world of music, fantasy, and high-stakes battles into an immersive live experience for fans worldwide.
The tour, set to kick off next year, will bring the fictional K-pop girl group Huntr/x consisting of dynamic members Rumi, Mira, and Zoey to real stages. Voiced by Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji-young Yoo in the film, these characters secretly fight supernatural forces while maintaining their glamorous pop star personas. Their story pits them against a rival demon boy band in a thrilling blend of catchy tunes and action-packed storytelling.
Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans and produced by Sony Pictures Animation, KPop Demon Hunters dropped in June 2025 and quickly skyrocketed. It became Netflix’s most-watched English-language movie of all time within its first 91 days, while also drawing crowds during a limited theatrical release. The film’s infectious soundtrack and relatable characters fueled a cultural phenomenon: fans have hosted sing-alongs, dressed up for Halloween, and even spotted references at high-profile events like the US Open and Buckingham Palace. Netflix executives noted a surprising bump in travel interest to South Korea tied to the movie’s popularity.
Amy Reinhard, Netflix’s president of ad sales, highlighted the project’s momentum during the presentation, emphasizing the company’s goal to extend the franchise beyond streaming. “We’re bringing this world to life in spectacular ways,” she said, signaling ambitious production values for the live shows that will likely mix high-energy K-pop performances with the film’s fantasy elements.
While specific tour dates, venues, and ticket information remain under wraps, a dedicated waitlist for updates is already active, reflecting strong early demand. Industry observers see this as Netflix’s latest smart move in turning hit content into multi-platform experiences, much like its successful forays into live events and experiential entertainment.
For global K-pop enthusiasts and animation fans alike, the tour represents more than just concerts it’s a chance to step inside a beloved universe. As details emerge in the coming months, expect Huntr/x to dominate conversations across social media and music charts once again. Stay tuned for announcements that could make 2027 a landmark year for interactive storytelling.
