International Anime Music Festival 2023 European Tour, Budapest Aréna, 8 May
- 15 Dec 2022 8:10 AM
The inaugural International Anime Music Festival announces its debut tour, bringing virtual music superstars to 19 venues across Europe starting 20 April 2023. This marks the first time the popular VTubers (virtually generated animated YouTubers) and Vocaloids (virtual singers with computer generated voices) appear on stage together.
Starring Kizuna AI Original Singeroid “#kzn”, vocal duo HIMEHINA, vocal trio MaRiNaSu, the European debut of fan favorite GUMI, and pop twins LiLYPSE, the show will be in LIVE, DJ-led multimedia concert rave.
Featuring brand new songs and never-before-seen content, the tour brings these characters to life on state-of-the-art LED and high-definition digital projections.
These characters are among the fan-favorites of the international anime-music movement. Originating in Japan, these superstar avatars have exploded globally over the past two years, drawing tens of millions of followers worldwide, generating over 62 million Google searches, and more than 1.2 billion views (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and others).
Tickets for all European shows go on sale Friday, December 16th at 10am local time: at eventim.hu or in person at the national ticket offices of Tex in Hungary.
The worldwide festival will continue its tour throughout 2023, in Southeast Asia and South America.
