After stealing the hearts of many in the past few years, global sensation HUNTR/X is coming to Manchester for one night only. The KPop Demon Hunters Golden World Tour plays the AO Arena on Tuesday 19 October 2027, turning the animated film into a live arena concert thanks to Netflix and AEG Presents. Manchester gets a single show, with no matinee, so demand is likely to be high.
Netflix describes the tour as a ‘next-generation K-pop concert experience‘, with live-action stunts, choreography and the film’s fan-favourite music. The Saja Boys and Derpy Tiger will also appear in a high-energy, incredibly vibrant night at the AO Arena.
Creative direction comes from Amy Tinkham, whose past work includes Disney’s Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour and Cirque du Soleil’s Songblazers.
