Make your idol dreams come true at Magicon!
Have you ever dreamt about being an idol and performing on stage? Get ready to dance, shine and show your idol spirit. It’s time to bring your vision to life at Magicon Idol Stage! 💖
Whether you’re going on stage or cheering from the crowd, you’re invited to the vibrant and heartwarming world of idols. A true celebration of dance, music, and creativity. Bring your glowsticks, energy and cheers and let’s make this night magical together! ✨
This event is all about energy, passion and fun, and is open to solo performers and groups of up to nine members. There will be prizes for our winners, but no pre-judging or strict evaluations, just good vibes and great performances! 🎉
The world of idols is rooted in J-pop and wotagei culture, with iconic groups like AKB48, Babymetal, Ensemble Stars and Love Live blazing the path. But it also embraces beloved franchises like Vocaloid and more unconventional ones like Uma Musume.
If it carries the idol spirit, it’s welcome on our stage! 🦙
