One of the most talked-about highlights of the anniversary campaign is a string of completely free outdoor screenings rolling out across nine U.S. cities between June 19 and June 26. Pack a blanket, bring snacks, and find your spot — because these events are open to everyone.

Confirmed Outdoor Screening Locations (June 19–26)

The full list of confirmed times and any last-minute additions is being updated live on Netflix’s official Tudum page. If your city is not listed above, it is worth checking the Tudum hub directly — additional venues were still being confirmed at the time of writing.

Here is the kind of deal that almost feels too good to be true. As part of Regal Cinemas’ Summer Movie Express 2026 program, KPop Demon Hunters screenings in sing-along format are available for just $1 per ticket at select Regal locations.

The sing-along format means on-screen lyrics scroll along with the music — so when “Golden” plays, you and everyone in that theater can belt it out together without feeling self-conscious. It is, frankly, one of the best ways to experience the film’s soundtrack for the first time or the fifteenth time.

At $1, this is also an incredible opportunity to bring younger fans or introduce the film to friends who have somehow not seen it yet. The Regal deal is part of a broader $1 summer cinema initiative for family-friendly titles, but given the film’s widespread cultural footprint over the past year, the KPop Demon Hunters slot is almost certainly going to draw the largest crowds.

Netflix’s anniversary push goes far beyond U.S. borders. The film is returning to cinemas in sixteen countries simultaneously — a coordinated international theatrical event that mirrors the kind of wide-release strategy usually reserved for major tentpole blockbusters.

Countries with Confirmed Anniversary Screenings

For international fans, this theatrical return is a genuine event. Many viewers first discovered the film on Netflix and never had the chance to see it on a big screen. The anniversary release gives that audience exactly what they missed — the full cinematic experience, with proper sound, proper scale, and a room full of people who already know every lyric.

Specific theater chains and showtime listings vary by country and region. For international fans, checking local listings at your preferred cinema chain or the Netflix Tudum page is the most reliable approach. Screenings in some markets include the sing-along format, while others feature the standard cut or the Korean-language version.

If you happen to be near Dallas or Philadelphia, Netflix House is hosting dedicated HUNTR/X anniversary activations on and around June 20. These are Netflix’s physical entertainment venues — think immersive pop-up experiences where the streaming platform’s content comes to life in interactive, real-world form.

What’s Happening at Netflix House

• Dedicated fan activities planned throughout June 20 at both the Dallas and Philadelphia Netflix House locations
• The Philadelphia Netflix House will host full film screenings throughout the week leading up to the anniversary date
• Themed activations tied to the HUNTR/X universe, including interactive elements inspired by the film’s mythology and aesthetic
• Exclusive merchandise available on-site, with certain items potentially not available through regular retail channels

If you’re within reasonable travel distance of either city, the Netflix House experience is worth the trip. These venues are purpose-built for fan immersion, and a KPop Demon Hunters activation on its actual anniversary date is the kind of event that tends to generate serious FOMO for anyone who misses it. Plan around capacity — these events tend to fill up quickly, and some activations may require advance registration through Netflix’s website.

Can’t attend a physical event? The most global celebration of all is happening entirely online — and it lasts nine hours straight.

This is a smart move for a film with genuinely global appeal. The Brazilian Portuguese version alone reflects how deeply the film resonated in South America — Brazil emerged as one of the top countries for streams within the film’s first month. The Korean-language version, meanwhile, has its own dedicated following among fans who want to experience the original vocal performances without any dubbing.

The TikTok watch party format also mirrors how many fans first engaged with KPop Demon Hunters in the first place: through clips, reaction videos, and shared moments on social media. Bringing that communal digital energy back to mark the first anniversary feels like the most authentic way to celebrate a film that was, in many ways, born on social platforms.

KPop Demon Hunters has always had strong merchandise, but the anniversary campaign has brought a new wave of products from major retail partners. Here is a breakdown of the confirmed items rolling out around June 20.

Additional anniversary merchandise was still being teased by Netflix at the time of writing, with the company promising more drops and surprises throughout the week of June 20. Following the official Netflix and HUNTR/X social accounts is the fastest way to catch new releases as they go live.

And now, the big one. Everything else in this anniversary campaign is warm-up. The headline announcement — the one that sent HUNTR/X fan communities into an absolute spiral — is the confirmation of a full-scale global concert world tour, produced by Netflix in partnership with AEG Presents.

What We Know About the World Tour

• Officially announced at Netflix’s 2026 Upfront presentation on May 13, 2026
• Produced jointly by Netflix and AEG Presents, a Los Angeles-based global live entertainment company
• Planned to cover approximately 150 cities worldwide, with a 2027 start date
• Described as a live experience that will “bring elements of the two-time Oscar-winning film to life in spectacular ways”
• Will feature both HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys brought to life on stage
• Specific city-by-city dates and venue announcements are expected later in 2026
• A waitlist for early ticket information is live now at kpopdemonhunterslive.com

Which Artists Will Perform?

The official announcements have not yet confirmed whether the original voice cast and singing talent will perform live. The vocal lineup for HUNTR/X in the film consists of EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — all three of whom have been active in promoting the film throughout 2025 and 2026, including appearances on late-night television, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and the Academy Awards stage. Whether they will anchor the live tour remains one of the most anticipated pieces of news for fans, and the first official venue reveals are expected to come with clearer performer details.

K-Pop Forever! — The Tribute Tour Already on the Road

While the official world tour is in the planning stage, there is already a related live touring show currently running in Europe and Asia. K-Pop Forever! is a tribute concert experience produced by Taylor Entertainment that draws on both K-pop music broadly and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack specifically. The tour launched in Guernsey in February 2026 and is scheduled to run through March 2027, with stops across a wide range of European and Asian cities. It is an unofficial production rather than a Netflix-sanctioned event, so the scale and production values differ from what the official AEG tour will offer — but for fans outside the U.S. who cannot wait, it has been a popular option for live HUNTR/X musical content.

To understand why Netflix is putting this much effort into a first anniversary, it helps to see what KPop Demon Hunters actually accomplished in twelve months. The numbers are genuinely staggering.

The Oscars haul alone tells the story. KPop Demon Hunters took home Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for “Golden” at the 2026 ceremony — with “Golden” becoming the first K-pop song ever to win in that category. At the Grammys, the song also claimed Best Song Written for Visual Media, another historic first for K-pop. The cultural reach of this single film, from cinema to music charts to travel industry data, is something film analysts will be studying for years.

Perhaps most remarkable is the comparison to Squid Game, which itself was considered a once-in-a-decade streaming phenomenon. KPop Demon Hunters surpassed that viewership total — and it did so as an animated musical, a category that rarely dominates global streaming rankings at that kind of scale.
