Japan Expo, the French convention with a focus on Japanese culture, has earlier this week launched ticket sales for Anisong Festa 2026, an anime music festival on July 10 at Parc des Expositions de Paris. The festival has secured the headliners Cö shu Nie, yama, and Nakagawa Shoko, all notable in the anime scene for their hit songs in anime. We can also expect additional performers to be announced!
To attend Anisong Festa, you only need to buy tickets for the festival itself, and do not require tickets to the main event Japan Expo. Catch the ticket details further down below.
Anisong Festa lineup
Cö shu Nie
The rock band Cö shu Nie made their anison debut in 2018 with the opening theme Asphyxia for Tokyo Ghoul:re. Since then, they’ve contributed songs to popular anime including Jujutsu Kaisen, Code Geass, Psycho Pass, and Yakusoku no Neverland. Notably, last year, they even collaborated with the world-renowned artist HYDE on the opening theme Maisie for Kuroshitsuji.
yama
With an origin as an utaite (cover song artist) on YouTube, yama’s popularity skyrocketed into the anison scene and has performed for popular show such as Spy x Family, the 2023 reboot of Rurouni Kenshin, Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo, and recently in Sanda. It’s clear why they’ve achieved such success: yama’s androgynous, soft voice resonates with the new generation but also wins over listeners with versatile, skillful vocals.
Nakagawa Shoko
Nakagawa Shoko is not only a renowned voice actress and singer, but also a versatile entertainer who has established herself as a prominent figure in both the entertainment industry and anime scene. Through her anime ending theme song Sorairo Days for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, she gained worldwide attention and is now returning to Japan Expo once again, after previously attending back in 2014.
