ANISAMA Goes Global! Legendary anime song festival makes overseas debut with massive lineup – now at New Frontier Theater!
Hold onto your glowsticks – the world’s biggest anime song live event is finally stepping outside Japan! That’s right, ANISAMA WORLD 2025 in MANILA is officially happening on Saturday, 7 June 2025, and it’s shaping up to be one heck of a celebration for anisong lovers across Asia and beyond.
Originally set to take place at the iconic Araneta Coliseum, organisers have since confirmed a venue shift to the New Frontier Theater, according to a notice from TicketNet picked up by local outlet ANIMEPH.
While it’s a smaller, more intimate venue, fans are buzzing that this might make the show feel even more up close and personal — a rare treat for an event of this scale.

🎶 Why It Matters
ANISAMA (short for Animelo Summer Live) is basically the Coachella of anime music – held annually in Japan since 2005, it’s famous for bringing together the top anisong acts in a massive 3-day extravaganza. For it to make its first leap overseas – and to choose Southeast Asia as its debut stop – speaks volumes about the growing power of anime fans in the region.
With so many legendary tunes and new bangers packed into one night, ANISAMA WORLD 2025 in MANILA isn’t just a concert – it’s a full-on fandom milestone.
