The tour picks up in Europe on Sept. 1 at Zurich’s Hallenstadion, moving 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 closing with three shows at London’s The O2 on Oct. 22-23.
Asia Pacific and Latin America dates 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.
“‘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,” said Marian Lee, Netflix’s chief marketing officer. “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 production brings Rumi, Mira and Zoey to arena stages, using new performance techniques that let the animated characters engage directly with the crowd. The animated Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger also appear, alongside live-action performers and stunts, dance routines and songs from the film.
AEG Presents president of global touring Rich Schaefer 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 25-plus 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. It won best animated feature at the Oscars, Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. “Golden” made history as the first K-pop song to win an Oscar as well as a Grammy, while the soundtrack was the first to place four songs in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 at the same time. The music has passed 15 billion streams worldwide.
