A handful of VTubers and Vocaloids will join forces for a tour across North America next year.

Announced today, the International Anime Music Festival, which is being produced by Anime Entertainment LLC, will feature Kizuna AI Original Singeroid “#kzn”, vocal duo HIMEHINA, vocal trio MaRiNaSu, the North American debut of fan favorite GUMI, and pop twins LiLYPSE. The trek kicks off on February 6 inside Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre, and it’ll conclude with a performance at Mexico City’s Arena CDMX on March 31. Future dates in South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia will be announced.

Anime Entertainment LLC co-founder Bob Ringe said this about the event:

“I feel honored and privileged to be working with the talented IP holders and character creators of the five acts appearing on our International Anime Music Festival. The response from the Anime community and Anime creators worldwide has exceeded my expectations. See you all at the festival!”

Anime Entertainment LLC co-founder Marty Tudor also said:

“I am excited to work with this extraordinary visually exciting Art Form. The energy that this group of Virtual Artists has is amazing and incites the best of our superb creative team. This show will be a blast!”

Pre-sales will begin on Halloween (October 31) starting at 10 a.m. local time here. Tickets will go on sale to the general public next Friday (November 4) at 10 a.m. local time.
