This event is hosted by Next Stage Festivals. Next Stage Festivals is a collaborative project started by long-time performers from the Florida J-pop idol community (and surrounding areas) who have found a passion for event running. We are a volunteer team who work with cons all over the Sunshine State to bring idol festivals and J-pop inspired events to life! You can stay up to date on our events opportunities, performer applications, live streams, and more on our social media.
