Crunchyroll Hosting Two-Day Anime Music Festival At SDCC 2025

San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) is one of the largest comic book conventions in the world. Certainly one of the largest in the US, rivalling the Los Angeles Comic Con (LACC) and New York Comic Con (NYCC) in scale. Thus, it’s not hard to imagine why so much hype is going towards this year’s upcoming SDCC 2025, and what’s going to happen there.

Thus, you can explain today’s headline here. Crunchyroll is proud to announce that their upcoming Crunchyroll Anime FanFest at SDCC 2025. Why is this important, you might ask? Well, because it will be Crunchyroll’s first-ever, two-day music festival at San Diego Comic-Con. Any SDCC, really. The entire music festival will be open to the public and Con-goers alike on Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26 at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park.

So what will be in this music festival? Well, Crunchyroll plans to bring us anime-inspired music from across the genres, including Pop, EDM, Hip-Hop, Rap, Urban, R&B, and Latin. This is all happening due to all the rave reviews Crunchyroll got for their previous concerts, including the ones by LiSA and The One Piece 25th Anniversary Symphony Voyage. As to who will be performing in this music festival? Well, you can check out the list below:
