Hyper Japan is set to begin in London next Friday, with the festival scheduled to run from July 24 through July 26 at Olympia. The event is known for bringing together Japanese pop culture, music and special guest appearances in one of the UK’s best-known showcases for Japan-themed entertainment.
This year’s announced guests include Japanese voice actor Chiaki Kobayashi, along with music acts THE SIXTH LIE, Queen Bee and singer Eir Aoi. Their inclusion points to a program with a strong focus on anime-related talent and live performance across the three-day event.
According to the available schedule details, THE SIXTH LIE will appear twice during the festival, with one performance planned for Friday at 2 p.m. and another on Saturday at 4:20 p.m. That gives attendees more than one chance to catch the band during the weekend lineup.
With its mix of live music and featured guests from Japan’s entertainment scene, Hyper Japan is shaping up to be a major draw for fans heading to Olympia in London. The festival runs from Friday to Sunday and brings several recognizable names together for the upcoming edition.
