Musical act applications are OPEN for the HotaruCon 4 Season's Party Hours until MIDNIGHT 31st May 2025.
Besides the evening panels, the games room and the karaoke we also
open the main hall for the parties on Friday and Saturday night, and after the Cosplay Ball on the Sunday.
From 9pm-1am every night we throw open the doors of the main hall for HotaruCon attendees to dance the night away to the musical stylings of...other HotaruCon attendees!
Whether you're a wizard on the decks or never DJ-ed before we'd love to hear what you have in mind. If you need equipment or a trial run our Sub-Committee Music Liaison RaggedyMan is always willing to help folks learn the ropes. No experience is necessary, trust us, our Chairman Charlie DJ-ed for the first time at the first Hotaru after RaggedyMan gave them a crash course in 30 minutes an hour before party kick off. You've got this 💪
Got a live act in mind? Please have a demo reel ready of a selection of your intended set. Singer, band, idol group? Show us what you've got!
We'll be happy to talk through tech, lighting and AV with you if you have something really special in mind! (No confetti or bubbles though, sorry 🥲)
If you're not a HotaruCon attendee but you'd like to discuss performing at HotaruCon during one of our evening slots, please select DJ, Music and Entertainment on the Contact Us form and our Music Liaison will be touch.
Musical acts and their co-hosts are eligible to claim the Event Runner badge to add to their lanyard collection.
We'll be in touch after applications close to all applicants with timings and any other business.
With that said, hit the apply button and we'll see you on the stage in November!
