Tour diary - Adelaide (Part 1 / 5)


 First stop Adelaide!  Our tour starts off in Neko Nation's current home of Adelaide.  Adelaide is by far the most exciting show to prepare for as we regularly gets our fans coming into Tokyo Hardcore to buy tickets, we get to see the excitement first hand and actually interact with the community in our own hometown, compared to just talking to people on Facebook with the interstate shows.

We headed into the show completely sold out of pre-sales, the second time we have achieved this feat (the other time being Perth for the unofficial Wai-Con after party).  So we had massive reasons to get very excited for this show, especially since we were going into this show nailing what we believed would be one of the most amazing shows ever as we believed the last show was great but we could finally work on putting on all the finishing touches to get everything the way we wanted it too.

The Adelaide show was pretty much the stuff of dreams, a titanic amount of support came from all over the place, 14 DJ's, 8 catgirls, 10 media (including AVCon), it's by far the biggest show staff wise and well supported by the entire Adelaide cosplay community.  Our numbers hit over 300, taking the attendance title back after temporarily losing it to Brisbane at the last show.

Adelaide is by far the most special show for us in terms of the amount of support, attendance and love we receive and it was massive motivation for the rest of the tour, plus Adelaide certainly knows how to party with absolutely packed dancefloors and crazy antics all over the place.  It's a show like this that shows why Neko Nation has chosen to reside in Adelaide.

Having been satisfied we were ready to pack our bags for our debut show in Sydney!
