Netflix officially announced a KPop Demon Hunters global concert tour in partnership with AEG Presents, promising fans a live experience that pulls directly from the two time Oscar-winning animated film. The tour will bring Huntrix — the K-pop girl group at the center of the story — to stages worldwide, though full city and date details are still coming later in 2026. Fans can join a waitlist now to get first access when tickets go on sale.
What We Know About the KPop Demon Hunters Live Experience
Netflix dropped the announcement during its Upfront presentation, billing the tour as more than a basic concert. The language around it — “a live experience that will bring elements of the two time Oscar-winning film to life in spectacular ways” — suggests something closer to a theatrical production than a straightforward K-pop show.
That framing makes sense given the source material. KPop Demon Hunters is not a real group you can just book on a stage. Huntrix exists inside an animated world where three girl group members also fight monsters from the underworld. Translating that to a live venue takes some creative problem-solving.
What remains unanswered is who actually performs. EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami provided the singing voices for the film’s three leads — and all three have spent the past year performing as Huntrix in real life, including appearances on late night TV, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and the Academy Awards stage. Whether they headline the tour has not been confirmed. The Saja Boys, the opposing group in the film, also has not been mentioned in the announcement.
Why AEG Presents Makes Sense for This Tour
AEG has handled some of the biggest K-pop tours in recent years. Their roster includes Blackpink, ATEEZ, Enhypen, Le Sserafim, NCT 127, G-Dragon, Big Bang, and Tomorrow x Together. They know the logistics of large-scale K-pop touring and how to build shows that go beyond a band standing in front of a screen.
That experience matters here because the KPop Demon Hunters concert tour is going after a different crowd than most K-pop tours. The film hit hardest with people who do not normally follow K-pop — younger viewers, animation fans, general Netflix subscribers who stumbled onto it during the summer of 2025 and kept watching. BTS is on a world tour right now, but the people who made KPop Demon Hunters Netflix’s most-watched film ever are probably not the same ones buying BTS tickets. Different audience, different show design, different expectations.
How a Netflix Animated Film Became a Real K-pop Phenomenon
When KPop Demon Hunters dropped in summer 2025, nobody quite predicted what would happen next. K-pop fans found it first, which tracks. But the film kept spreading. By fall, people who had never listened to a K-pop album were streaming the soundtrack, following Huntrix fan accounts, and rewatching the film repeatedly.
By the time awards season arrived, it had become unavoidable. The film directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans took home two Academy Awards and the first Grammy Award ever given to a K-pop act. Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji-young Yoo voiced the characters in dialogue while EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami handled the songs — an unusual split that made the performance side of the press tour genuinely interesting.
The 2026 Oscars marked something of a conclusion to that first chapter. Now Netflix and Sony Animation are in the middle of developing a sequel, with Kang and Appelhans locked in under a new multiyear deal. A release date has not been set.
What Fans Should Do Right Now
If you want tickets when they go on sale, the move is to join the waitlist. Netflix has not released cities, venues, or dates yet — all of that is scheduled for later this year. Given what AEG pulls off at scale, and given how much of a global audience this film built, expect this tour to cover a lot of ground.
The K-pop touring market has had its ups and downs, but a property that crossed into mainstream audiences the way KPop Demon Hunters did is a different kind of draw. Whether the live show leans into the monster-fighting mythology, focuses on the music, or does something entirely unexpected — that part should be worth finding out.
Sign up for the waitlist, watch for the city announcements, and keep an eye on whether EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami are named as part of the lineup. That detail alone will tell you a lot about what kind of show this is going to be.
