HUNTR/X is heading to the UK. Netflix and AEG Presents have announced the KPop Demon Hunters GOLDEN World Tour, presented by Mastercard, a live K-pop concert event in arenas featuring the film’s animated characters. The tour launches globally in June 2027 and arrives in the UK in October 2027, with dates at OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Utilita Arena Birmingham, AO Arena in Manchester and The O2 in London. General sale tickets go on sale on Friday 20 November, with presales starting earlier that week.
1. HUNTR/X live on stage
Billed as a next-generation K-pop concert experience unlike anything fans have seen, heard or felt before, the tour is powered by songs from Netflix’s most popular film of all time. The beloved animated HUNTR/X characters, Rumi, Mira and Zoey, will interact with the audience through cutting-edge performance innovations that bring the girl group to life like never before. And yes, that also includes the animated characters of the Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger. More than a concert, it is described as a first-of-its-kind production that immerses fans in the storytelling with live-action stunts and performers, fan-favourite music and choreography, and special performances.
2. Seven UK shows in October 2027
The UK leg opens at OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Tuesday 12 October 2027. Birmingham gets two shows, a matinee and an evening performance, at Utilita Arena Birmingham on Saturday 16 October. Manchester follows at AO Arena on Tuesday 19 October. London then hosts three shows at The O2: one on Friday 22 October, followed by a matinee and an evening performance on Saturday 23 October. Matinee shows could be a handy option for families with younger fans. With first stops across North America, the UK and Europe, the tour will visit nearly 50 cities with more than 150 performances across 2027 and 2028.
3. A record-breaking film behind it
Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, KPop Demon Hunters became a global phenomenon shortly after its release on 20 June 2025. It is Netflix’s most popular film of all time, surpassing over 670 million views with 63 consecutive weeks on Netflix’s Global Top 10. The film won Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, Critics’ Choice Awards and Golden Globes, as well as ten Annie Awards. Its breakout song “Golden” became the first K-pop track to win both an Oscar and a Grammy, held No. 1 on the Hot 100 for eight weeks and was certified 5x Platinum.
4. What the organisers say
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.” Rich Schaefer, AEG Presents President of Global Touring, said: “KPop Demon Hunters has become a global phenomenon, with characters and music that already mean so much to fans around the world.” Creative direction comes from Amy Tinkham, whose credits include Disney’s Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour and Aerosmith’s Peace Out tour.
