KPop Demon Hunters is heading out on a ‘GOLDEN’ world tour in 2027, with arena shows confirmed in Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London.
The global tour will launch in June next year, with more than 150 performances planned across nearly 50 cities in 2027 and 2028. The first leg will take in North America, the UK and Europe, with further dates in Asia and Latin America to be announced.
The concerts will bring the animated HUNTR/X characters Rumi, Mira and Zoey to life through cutting-edge technology, with creators promising an immersive experience that combines live performers, stunts, choreography and audience participation.
Characters including the Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger will also feature, alongside music from the hugely successful Netflix film, including the Oscar-winning hit ‘Golden’.
It is not confirmed whether the singers behind HUNTR/X – EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami – will perform live at the shows. The trio have previously performed ‘Golden’ together at events including the BAFTAs.
Marian Lee, Netflix’s Chief Marketing Officer, said: “KPop Demon Hunters has transformed from a breakout hit into a generational phenomenon — sustaining 63 consecutive weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10, eclipsing 2 billion Spotify streams for ‘Golden,’ and breaking 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 – bringing that ‘Takedown’ energy to arenas around the world, where fans can sing, dance and help HUNTR/X seal the Honmoon.”
The UK leg will begin at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on October 14, followed by two Birmingham performances, one show in Manchester and three at London’s O2 Arena.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time on Friday November 20 here, with a Mastercard presale beginning at 10am on Wednesday November 18 and a fan presale the following day. Fans can register for the latter and find ticket information here.

Released in June 2025, KPop Demon Hunters follows the three members of HUNTR/X as they balance their careers as pop stars with their secret identities as demon hunters.
The film went on to become Netflix’s most-watched movie of all time, surpassing 670million views, while its soundtrack has accumulated more than 15billion streams globally.
‘Golden’ became the first K-pop song to win a Grammy, while the film also picked up Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. The soundtrack additionally made history by placing four songs simultaneously in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. NME also included ‘Golden’ among its 50 best songs of 2025.
The franchise has continued to expand throughout 2026, with Netflix recently releasing 78 minutes of new bonus content, including dance videos and short-form adventures featuring the characters.
Meanwhile, a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters is in development, although it is not currently expected to arrive before 2030. Netflix has also confirmed that the second film will receive a theatrical release alongside its streaming debut.
