The North American schedule will kick off at Baltimore's CFG Bank Arena on June 5. The tour will then visit several major venues, including the Prudential Center in Newark, United Center in Chicago, State Farm Arena in Atlanta and American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Canada will feature two performances at TD Coliseum in Hamilton on June 26. Los Angeles is scheduled to host three shows at Crypto.com Arena on July 30 and 31, while the North American leg will wrap up at Tacoma Dome on August 14.

The European leg will commence on September 1 at Hallenstadion in Zurich, Switzerland. Other stops include Milan, Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Oslo, Cologne, Brussels, Paris and Dublin.

The UK schedule will begin in Glasgow at OVO Hydro on October 12, followed by shows in Birmingham and Manchester. London will host the final three announced European performances at The O2 on October 22 and 23.

Although the initial announcement covers 35 cities and 61 shows, a substantial portion of the planned itinerary remains unannounced. Further dates, including the 2028 schedule, are expected to be revealed later, according to Variety.

Huntr/x, Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger to feature in live production

The arena production will bring the film's central trio, Rumi, Mira and Zoey of Huntr/x, to life through new performance techniques intended to make the animated characters interact directly with audiences. 

The show will also feature the animated Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger, alongside live-action performers. Audiences can expect a combination of elaborate stunts, choreography, dance sequences and music from the film.

Netflix Chief Marketing Officer Marian Lee said the film had evolved from a successful release into a worldwide cultural phenomenon, with its music continuing to attract listeners.

“‘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,” Lee said.

She added, “This fandom was never about a single moment, and the Golden World Tour is how we keep it going – bringing that ‘Takedown’ energy to arenas around the world, where fans can sing, dance and help Huntr/x seal the Honmoon.”

AEG Presents President of Global Touring Rich Schaefer also spoke about the opportunity to bring the animated universe to live audiences.

“We’re excited to work with Netflix to bring that world to life on tour, with the music at the heart of a show that makes fans part of the adventure,” Schaefer said.

Amy Tinkham to lead creative direction

The creative direction of the Golden World Tour will be overseen by Amy Tinkham, who brings more than 25 years of experience in live entertainment.

Her previous projects include Disney's ‘Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour’, Cirque du Soleil's ‘Songblazers’ and Aerosmith's ‘Peace Out’ tour, as well as ‘Bob Marley Hope Road’. She has also worked on live productions for musicians such as James Taylor, Paul McCartney and Mariah Carey.

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ becomes Netflix's most-watched film

Released on Netflix on June 20, 2025, ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ has recorded more than 670 million views, making it the streaming platform's most-watched film to date.

The film has also earned major recognition at international award ceremonies, winning Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.

Its soundtrack has achieved similar success. The song ‘Golden’ made history as the first K-pop song to win both an Oscar and a Grammy. The soundtrack also became the first to place four tracks in the Billboard Hot 100's top 10 simultaneously.

With more than 15 billion streams worldwide, the film's music has established a significant global following, setting the stage for its upcoming arena tour.
