Anime convention raves are getting good – really good. With both a real recognition and appreciation towards the importance of bringing over legitimate representatives of the current climate within the Japanese music scene, conventions are finally getting it right when it comes to selecting talent for their events. The upcoming Anime Weekend Atlanta is yet another prime example of this very movement, with a lineup containing some serious heavyweight names for their Saturday night rave event.
It would seem that with this year’s ‘Saturday Night Rave,’ the sky was truly the limit for Anime Weekend Atlanta. You’ll be able to hit the dancefloor to an eclectic roster of talent curated for this year’s event. Taking to the stage will be Voia (Attack the Music), DAOKO (“Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?”, “ME!ME!ME!”), TeddyLoid (“Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt”, “Space Patrol Luluco”, “ME!ME!ME!”), Taku Takahashi (m-flo, block.FM, “Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt”, “Space Dandy”), and Los Angeles-based electronic duo HeavyGrinder (GARNiDELiA vs. HEAVYGRINDER).
Marking her first-ever international performance, you’ll find the incredibly talented DAOKO performing alongside TeddyLoid for a spectacular show that’s sure to go down in history. Every act showcases a unique side of Japan’s ever-evolving musical landscape, and it’s extremely exciting to know that those at the convention will be able to enjoy their diverse talents.
