'KPop Demon Hunters' Golden World Tour to Open in Baltimore in June 2027

Netflix and AEG Presents said Friday that "KPop Demon Hunters" is heading to arenas, with the Golden World Tour scheduled to begin June 5, 2027, at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore. Presented by Mastercard, the production brings Huntr/x, the film's animated K-pop trio, in front of live audiences.

The initial slate of dates covers 35 cities and 61 performances. The North American leg runs through the summer, with stops at Newark's Prudential Center, Chicago's United Center, Atlanta's State Farm Arena and Dallas' American Airlines Center, among others. The only Canadian dates announced so far are two shows at Hamilton's TD Coliseum on June 26. Los Angeles is set for three performances at Crypto.com Arena on July 30-31, and the leg closes Aug. 14 at the Tacoma Dome.

The tour resumes in Europe on Sept. 1 at Zurich's Hallenstadion, then moves through Milan, Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Oslo, Cologne, Brussels, Paris and Dublin. The U.K. run opens Oct. 12 at Glasgow's OVO Hydro and continues to Birmingham and Manchester before three closing shows at The O2 in London on Oct. 22-23.

Dates for Asia Pacific and Latin America are still to be announced. Across 2027 and 2028, the tour is set to reach close to 50 cities and stage more than 150 shows, and with more than half of the planned performances yet to be scheduled, the 2028 itinerary remains open.

In a statement, Netflix chief marketing officer Marian Lee said the film had grown "from a breakout hit into a generational phenomenon," pointing to 63 consecutive weeks in Netflix's Global Top 10, more than 2 billion Spotify streams for the song "Golden" and the all-time record for the longest running soundtrack at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Soundtracks chart. "This fandom was never about a single moment, and the Golden World Tour is how we keep it going," she said.

On stage, the production brings the film's heroines Rumi, Mira and Zoey to arena venues using new performance techniques that let the animated characters engage directly with the crowd. The animated Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger also appear, joined by live-action performers, stunts, dance routines and songs from the movie.

Rich Schaefer, president of global touring at AEG Presents, said the property had become a worldwide phenomenon whose characters and music already mean a great deal to fans. "We're excited to work with Netflix to bring that world to life on tour, with the music at the heart of a show that makes fans part of the adventure," he said.

Creative direction comes from Amy Tinkham, whose more than 25 years in live entertainment include Disney's "Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour," Cirque du Soleil's "Songblazers," Aerosmith's Peace Out tour and "Bob Marley Hope Road." She has also staged live shows for James Taylor, Paul McCartney and Mariah Carey.

Released on Netflix on June 20, 2025, "KPop Demon Hunters" is the streamer's most-watched film ever, with more than 670 million views, and it won best animated feature at the Oscars, the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards. "Golden" became the first K-pop song to win an Oscar as well as a Grammy, the soundtrack was the first to place four songs in the Billboard Hot 100's top 10 at the same time, and the film's music has passed 15 billion streams worldwide.
