Fans have plenty of questions, and MasterCard has few answers

KPop Demon Hunters is packed with award-winning bops, so it’s no surprise Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation want to make the most of them with a live show. Netflix began planning a concert tour in March and confirmed today that Huntr/x will be going on tour in 2027. However, it's still unclear who will actually be performing the songs.

How is the KPop Demon Hunters' 2027 world tour going to be done, done, done?

An Instagram post from a new KPop Demon Hunters Golden World Tour account announced that Mastercard will sponsor a “next-generation K-pop concert experience unlike anything fans have seen.” That means cardholders will have first access to tickets, with presale beginning Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 10 a.m. in every time zone. Other fans can register on the tour website for access to buy tickets at 10 a.m. Nov. 19. General sales begin at 10 a.m. Nov. 20.

The announcement offers very few details. Five songs hardly make a concert, but there's no clarification on whether there will be new music, who will be singing, and if the performance will be animated. Fans have been asking these questions since the tour was officially announced in May and they took to social media to share their irritation with the lack of answers.

“An animated movie band doing a real arena tour is a wild sentence,” one user shared on X. “Who's actually singing on stage?”

A press release explained that the tour is “powered by songs” from KPop Demon Hunters. Huntr/x and other fan-favorite animated characters such as the Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger will be brought to life with “cutting-edge performance innovations.”

“Every fan in attendance will play a part to show the world How It's Done, Done, Done!" the tour announcement says. "More than a concert, this is a first-of-its-kind production that immerses fans in the storytelling with live-action stunts and performers, fan-favorite music and choreography, and special performances.”

The creative direction behind this tour is being led by Amy Tinkham. The director, writer, and show designer has over 25 years of experience, with credits including Disney's Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour and Cirque du Soleil's Songblazers.

Huntr/x vocal performers EJAE, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna are working on KPop Demon Hunters 2, and there's no word on if they'll be on stage. Die-hard fans eager to sing along to KPop Demon Hunters will likely make the concert a hit, but others might want to wait to find out if this concert is the real deal.
