NewsFilm News Netflix in discussions over ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ world tour for 2027 The movie became the most-watched original title in Netflix's history after its release last summer By Adam England 19th March 2026 Huntr/x in 'KPop Demon Hunters'. CREDIT: Netflix Netflix is planning a KPop Demon Hunters world tour for next year, with the streaming behemoth is in talks with concert promoters. KPop Demon Hunters has been a global smash hit since its release in June 2025, and if a world tour were to come to fruition, each live show would feature performances of the songs from the film. Advertisement A tour stopping in dozens of major cities with shows in arenas holding between 10,000 and 20,000 fans is under discussion, though there’s no guarantee it will go ahead. Per Bloomberg, Netflix hasn’t chosen a promoter yet but has been offered tens of millions of dollars in upfront guarantees. The movie became the most-watched original title in Netflix history, while it also had a theatrical release, and it’s received a number of accolades, including two at the Oscars on Sunday (March 15) – for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Music (Original Song), for ‘Golden’. ‘Golden’ became the first K-pop song to win a Grammy, too. The soundtrack became the first movie soundtrack to have four songs in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 at once, and it has been certified double platinum in the US. It’s unknown who would perform on the tour if it did go ahead – the movie features the groups Huntr/x and Saja Boys. Huntr/x performs songs recorded by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REMI AMI, and Netflix has discussed bringing them on tour but has also considered using virtual performers, like holograms, instead. Recommended It’s reported that the talent agency WME has mooted a tour with the three singers if they aren’t involved in Netflix’s plan. The news comes a month after the ‘K-Pop Forever! Tribute’ concert at Belfast’s SSE Arena caused controversy. The show, which took place on February 19, was criticised by some concertgoers for the “adult” costumes, unfamiliar music, sound quality and the photo used to advertise the concert. One told Belfast Live, “A K-pop tribute band with not one KPop [Demon Hunters] song sang until one hour and 20 minutes into the show. There were children crying, the show wasn’t as advertised.” Advertisement However, others defended the organisers, saying the official promos explained that the evening would feature a range of K-pop music, rather than just tracks from KPop Demon Hunters.
