A K-pop spectacular mixing holographic avatars with live dancers is heading to Hobart\u2019s Wrest Point Entertainment Centre in July.<\/p>\n

K-Pop Icons is an interactive concert experience that combines large-scale holograms of virtual performers with a live dance crew known as the Dream Team, tapping into the genre\u2019s massive global rise over the past decade.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Korea\u2019s global music scene and the Netflix series K-Pop Demon Hunters, the show features songs from major acts including Blackpink, Ros\u00e9, BTS, K\/DA and Katseye, alongside original virtual groups Saja Boys and Huntr\/X.<\/p>\n

The Hobart date is part of a nationwide winter school holiday tour, following strong demand from earlier Australian shows.<\/p>\n

The animated performers are brought to life through holograms, original vocals and elaborate stage design.<\/p>\n

Audience participation is a big part of the show, with young fans encouraged to vote for their favourite icon and help \u201ccrown\u201d a champion during each performance.<\/p>\n

Line producer Anna Anikeyeva said she was thrilled to be bringing the show to families.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am beyond excited to bring K-POP ICONS to families across the world,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLive theatre has always been important and with the digital world we live in it makes sense to combine both realities in a unique family show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Fans are encouraged to vote for their favourite icon and crown a champion<\/p>\n

Anikeyeva said the show\u2019s appeal was clear even to very young audiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy 3-year-old immediately fell in love with our avatars, her excitement as she caught glimpses of the show\u2019s development was exhilarating,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing it through a child\u2019s eyes inspires the wonder and magic of theatre we are bringing to so many.\u201d<\/p>\n

Producers describe the tour as a celebration of K-pop\u2019s ability to bring together different generations, cultures and fandoms.<\/p>\n
