KPop Demon Hunters has a soundtrack full of award-winning songs, and Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation are taking them on the road. Netflix began planning a concert tour in March and has now confirmed that Huntr/x will tour in 2027. It remains unclear who will perform the songs.
What will the KPop Demon Hunters world tour look like?
An Instagram post from a new KPop Demon Hunters Golden World Tour account announced Mastercard as the sponsor of a “next-generation K-pop concert experience unlike anything fans have seen.”
Mastercard cardholders will get first access to tickets, with a presale beginning Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 10 a.m. in every time zone. Other fans can register on the tour website for access to buy tickets at 10 a.m. Nov. 19. General sales begin at 10 a.m. Nov. 20.
The announcement leaves several questions unanswered. The film has five songs, but the tour has not clarified whether there will be new music, who will sing or whether the performance will be animated. Fans have been asking since the tour was officially announced in May, and some shared their frustration on social media.
“An animated movie band doing a real arena tour is a wild sentence,” one user wrote on X. “Who’s actually singing on stage?”
A press release said the tour is “powered by songs” from KPop Demon Hunters. It said Huntr/x and other animated characters, including the Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger, will be brought to life with “cutting-edge performance innovations.”
“Every fan in attendance will play a part to show the world How It’s Done, Done, Done! More than a concert, this is a first-of-its-kind production that immerses fans in the storytelling with live-action stunts and performers, fan-favorite music and choreography, and special performances.”
Amy Tinkham is leading the tour’s creative direction. The director, writer and show designer has more than 25 years of experience. Her credits include Disney’s Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour and Cirque du Soleil’s Songblazers.
Huntr/x vocal performers EJAE, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna are working on KPop Demon Hunters 2, but there is no word on whether they will appear on stage.
