Netflix stumbled upon a goldmine when it comes to KPop Demon Hunters, a movie that the streamer worked with co-producer Sony Animation that completely took over the world, becoming the streamer’s most popular movie of all time. What’s more, it turned itself into a full-blown cultural phenomenon by bringing fans into this magical world and making them feel like part of HUNTR/X. Well, now, fans are going to get the chance to feel a little of that golden concert energy for themselves.
Netflix has announced that they’re teaming with AEG Presents and launching a concert tour based around the two-time Oscar-winning animated film by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans. Netflix has described it as a major worldwide event that will bring the Golden songs to life. Cities, dates, and ticket on-sale details have not been announced yet but fans should keep their eyes peeled for more information soon.
The tour is basically a real-life version of HUNTR/X, the stars at the center of the movie. In the film, their concerts have the dual purpose of wowing fans but also providing enough Honmoon magic and love to, you know, keep demons away and stuff. So that’s a bit more pressure than just a set list. And the upcoming concert tour will give fans a chance to experience that energy in real life, though ideally with fewer actual demons in the crowd.
What Is ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ About?
KPop Demon Hunters follows HUNTR/X, a global K-pop group whose members secretly protect their fans from supernatural threats when they are not busy selling out stadiums. Their biggest challenge comes when they face Saja Boys, one of those irritating but irresistible rival boy bands who happen to be demons in disguise.
For now, fans will have to wait for the official cities, dates, and ticket details. But HUNTR/X is officially getting ready to go global, and if the movie taught us anything, it is that a loud enough crowd can do some serious damage.
KPop Demon Hunters is streaming on Netflix. The global concert tour waitlist is open now, with cities and ticket details to be announced later this year.
