Netflix and AEG Presents Launch Kpop Demon Hunters Concert Tour
Netflix and AEG Presents have turned the kpop demon hunters concert idea into a real global tour, announcing the live event during Netflix’s Upfront presentation on Wednesday. The move extends a film that became Netflix’s most-watched film ever into arenas and other live venues, with more details still to come later this year.
Netflix Turns to Live Events
The tour is set to bring elements of the film to life in a live experience, which pushes the property beyond streaming into ticketed performance. Netflix said fans can join a waitlist for more information, a practical step for anyone trying to get in line before cities, dates, and general on-sale details are released later this year.
Wednesday’s announcement also left one of the most important commercial questions open: Netflix made no indication whether the tour will feature the singing talent from Huntrix or the Saja Boys. For a project built around music as much as character, that missing detail shapes everything from casting expectations to what the live show can actually market.
Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans
Summer 2025 is when KPop Demon Hunters first premiered, and the film quickly became a Netflix breakout. Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, it went on to become Netflix’s most-watched film ever, while its songs reached the top of the charts.
The franchise now carries real awards weight, too. It won two Academy Awards and the first Grammy Award for K-pop, then reached the 2026 Oscars with a nearly year-long chapter of global domination behind it. That gives Netflix a property with both audience scale and awards credibility as it moves into live events.
AEG’s Tour Machine
AEG Presents enters with a track record of large-scale K-pop tours for artists including Blackpink, Jennie, ATEEZ, Enhypen, G-Dragon, Le Sserafim, Big Bang, NCT 127, and Tomorrow x Together. Pairing that infrastructure with a title that resonated beyond core K-pop audiences gives Netflix a ready-made test of whether a streaming hit can sustain a global concert business.
Netflix already has deals in place with Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans for a sequel film, but no sequel release date has been announced. For now, the live tour is the next move, and the waitlist is the only public path for fans who want first access before the route is made public later this year.
