Japanese rock band FLOW, known for countless anime song contributions, will perform at Otakon 2024. The Friday concert will be part of the band’s first five-continent tour, “FLOW WORLD TOUR: ANIME SHIBARI 2024-2025.”

At this time, a total of 16 performances have been announced for Australia and North America. After that, they are scheduled to tour Europe, South America, and Asia, with the total number of performances still to be announced.

The tour title “ANIME SHIBARI” meaning “Anime-only” in Japanese, denotes that they will only perform the numerous songs that FLOW has contributed to Japanese animation. Many of FLOW’s most popular songs will be performed, including songs from “NARUTO,” “Code Geass,” “Dragon Ball Z,” and more.

Their highest streamed song “Sign” has amassed over 100 million streams on Spotify alone, and FLOW is loved around the world, having performed in nearly 20 countries from 2006 until now.

The tour will kick off in Australia in July, then move on to a North American tour, with stops in the United States and Canada. Major cities such as Sydney, New York, Chicago, and Toronto are among the tour destinations.

Further tour dates and details of performances in Europe, South America, and Asia are to be announced on FLOW’s official website, special World Tour website, and social media at a later date.

As a tribute to FLOW’s anime heritage and tour theme, the key visual of the World Tour features the five band members depicted as anime characters, along with an animated promotional video, both created by ZERO Animation.

Before kicking off their tour in Australia, in Japan FLOW will hold “FLOW THE FESTIVAL 2024”, an anime song rock festival they curated to wrap up their 20th anniversary. This festival will be their first curated festival and biggest
performance to date.

Otakon 2024 will be held from August 2 to August 4 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
