• Netflix and AEG Presents have announced a KPop Demon Hunters global concert tour.
• The tour was revealed during Netflix’s Upfront presentation on May 13, 2026.
• No cities, dates, or performer details have been confirmed yet.
• A Bloomberg report suggested Netflix was considering virtual performers or holograms over live singers.
• Fans can join the waitlist now at the official tour site for updates.

It started with singalong screenings. Then EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami took their HUNTR/X songs to late-night television, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and finally the Oscars stage, where “Golden” made history as the first K-pop song to win an Academy Award. Now, Netflix is taking the whole thing on the road — sort of.

The streamer announced Wednesday during its Upfront presentation that it’s partnering with AEG Presents for a KPop Demon Hunters global concert tour, promising “a live experience that will bring elements of the two-time Oscar-winning film to life in spectacular ways.” Fans have been waiting for something like this ever since “Golden” spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 18 weeks atop the Billboard Global 200. The movie itself became Netflix’s most-watched film of all time, crossing 500 million global views since its July 2025 premiere.

The announcement is exciting. The details, however, are almost nonexistent.

What We Actually Know (and What We Don’t)

Netflix has confirmed the tour exists and that AEG Presents — the same company behind massive K-pop world tours for Blackpink, JENNIE, ATEEZ, ENHYPEN, G-Dragon, Le Sserafim, NCT 127, (G)I-DLE, Big Bang, and Tomorrow x Together — is the touring partner. That’s a serious pedigree. Beyond that? Cities, dates, and ticket on-sale information are all “still to come later this year.”

The bigger question hanging over everything is who, exactly, will be performing. Netflix hasn’t said a word about whether EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — the singing voices behind HUNTR/X — will actually take the stage. Fans who’ve watched the trio perform “Golden” live over the past year would naturally assume they’re the headliners. But according to a Bloomberg report from March, when the tour was still in the planning stages, Netflix was actively considering “using only virtual performers, be they holograms or something else.” The report noted it was “unlikely the three women would perform at every stop.”

There’s real context behind that uncertainty. EJAE has spoken publicly about how physically demanding “Golden” is to sing. And the three women had never performed together before the film’s promotional run — this wasn’t a band with years of touring muscle behind them. Still, Bloomberg reported that talent agency WME has proposed an unofficial tour with the trio should they ultimately be left out of Netflix’s version. So one way or another, there’s a path to seeing them live.

What’s also notable: as a songwriter on “Golden” and other tracks from the film, EJAE will be getting paid regardless of how this shakes out. And directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans — who recently signed a lucrative new multiyear deal with Netflix that includes the sequel — are expected to be consulted on the tour’s creative direction.

The Phenomenon Behind the Tour

To understand why Netflix is moving this fast, you have to look at just how thoroughly KPop Demon Hunters rewrote the record books. The fictional HUNTR/X became the first K-pop girl group to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100. “Golden” became the first K-pop song to win both a Grammy and an Oscar. The film won Best Animated Feature at both the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. It was the most-streamed movie title of all of 2025.

Billboard named EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami its 2026 Women of the Year at this year’s Billboard Women in Music. Accepting the honor, Nuna said onstage, “To receive this honor and represent a song in a film that affirms its notion that the world needs women to show up as their fullest, most whole selves… it’s rewarding beyond words.”

The film also resonated well beyond the traditional K-pop fanbase — skewing younger and broader than established acts like BTS, who are currently on their own massive world tour. That crossover appeal is a big part of what makes a global concert tour feel like such a natural next step, even if the execution is still being figured out.

A sequel is officially in development, with Kang and Appelhans signed on to write and direct. No release date has been announced yet, which means fans are staring down a long wait. This tour, whatever form it ultimately takes, is Netflix’s way of keeping that energy alive in the meantime.

For now, you can join the waitlist at the official tour site to be first in line when cities, dates, and tickets are finally revealed. Given how fast “Golden” broke every chart it touched, don’t expect those announcements to stay quiet for long.

• Hayley Williams has announced “The Hayley Williams Show” fall amphitheater tour across the U.S. and Latin America
• The tour runs September through November 2026, with openers Magdalena Bay and Rico Nasty
• Setlists will span all three of her solo albums — not just Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party — plus promised “surprises”
• Forest Hills Stadium and Hollywood Bowl dates have already sold out; tickets for remaining dates go on sale May 14 at 10 a.m. local time
• $1 from every North American ticket sold will benefit REVERB and Support+Feed

Hayley Williams is going big. The Paramore frontwoman has just announced “The Hayley Williams Show — Live in the Americas,” a sweeping fall amphitheater tour that kicks off September 3 in West Palm Beach and runs through late November across the U.S. and Latin America. And if you’ve been locked out of her current run of sold-out theater shows, this is your shot — though you’ll want to move fast.

The tour hits major outdoor venues across the country, including Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on October 2 for Bay Area fans who couldn’t snag one of her three sold-out Fox Theater dates in Oakland this week. Tickets for all newly announced U.S. shows go on sale May 14 at 10 a.m. local time via Live Nation and Ticketmaster.

What Makes This Tour Different From Her Current Run

Williams’ ongoing theater tour has been almost entirely focused on her 2025 album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party — the record that produced breakout tracks “Parachute,” “Good Ol’ Days” and “Ice in My OJ” and earned four Grammy nominations. The fall amphitheater shows will be a different experience entirely, pulling from all three of her solo albums: Petals for Armor (2020) and FLOWERS for VASES/descansos (2021) in addition to Ego Death. The announcement also teases “some exciting surprises” — which, given that Williams is one of rock’s most beloved frontwomen, could absolutely mean Paramore deep cuts make an appearance. She did bring out Noah Kahan at a recent show, so the bar for guests is already set high.

Magdalena Bay and Rico Nasty are handling opener duties for the U.S. dates, while Annie DiRusso joins for the Latin America and Puerto Rico leg.

How to Actually Get Tickets

Given how fast Williams’ theater run sold out — and the fact that the already-announced Forest Hills Stadium dates in Queens and both Hollywood Bowl nights in Los Angeles are already gone — the demand here is real. To help tickets land with actual fans rather than scalpers, a verified presale registration process is in place. Registration for the HW HQ presale opened May 7 at 3 p.m. ET.

The tour is also using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange, meaning tickets will be non-transferable and can only be resold at face value on Ticketmaster. In Illinois and New York, where state law prevents resale restrictions, tickets can be transferred — but Ticketmaster will still honor Williams’ terms and keep resale prices at face value on its platform. It’s a notably fan-first setup for a tour that could easily command eye-watering resale prices.

And there’s one more reason to feel good about buying a ticket: $1 from every North American sale goes directly to REVERB and Support+Feed.
