We head into May and June, which ends up being our first proper tour of 2013, 4 shows within 6 weeks, oh it was certainly one interesting journey and adventure!
Brisbane - May 2013
This is the first show on the tour and did we start off with a mega bang here! After the first sold out show of the year in Brisbane, which was also definitely problematic and a half due to hot weather and other niggling problem. Neko Brisbane came back big time, new venue, staging, management, DJ's, catgirls, décor, a new live act and in general everything we completely revolutionised Neko Nation once again!
LELE was the brand new addition, the amazing J-Pop singer put on a stunning debut show at Neko Nation Brisbane to the delight of an awesomely charged crowd, a new stunning stage complete with glowing Sakura trees, a new crazy "Stargate" projector and the new venue was an absolute hit. Neko Nation Brisbane has always had one fun and crazy crowd and it was definitely the best start to the tour!
Adelaide - May 2013
For a long time we've had people always suggest to do a Pokémon theme show and while in 2013 we decided to get ready of "themed shows" we thought we'd actually make this one happen in Adelaide. A brand new venue in Producer's Bar which was packed out and was the fastest selling out Neko Nation event in history!
A long 8 month gap between shows, meant that people were really excited about this one, the new venue offered for a unique new dancefloor, awesome new outside area and one of the most unforgettable nights in a long time. The cosplay at this event was by far some of the best we've ever seen at an event and Adelaide definitely showed Australia how it's done there!
Perth - June 2013
Neko returned to Perth for another absolutely amazing event at Gilkisons, probably one of our favourite venues on tour, a mega dance floor that was lit up by the new Sakura tree made for a brand new stunning looking dancefloor thanks to teaming up with FORCE, to also be on the safe side, there was a new ventilation system installed even in Winter we still wanted to keep things cool!
It was an absolutely amazing night, the return to Perth was a very emotional, after two year, Neko HQ moved back to it's hometown of Perth and while Adelaide was fun, the hometown welcoming and party was absolutely insane and emotionally charged with another extremely mega night which absolutely raised the roof!
Sydney - June 2013
Last stop, Sydney! Sydney is considered the most interesting Neko Nation of them all, they have the most energetic, vibrant and varied crowd. Sydney is known for it's unique rave twist on the Neko Nation concept, while it still stays true to it's roots, Neko Sydney does stand out as a late night epic spectacular.
Our new team has been working tirelessly to put in all sorts of awesome new lighting and displays to make Sydney loads of fun and our team in Sydney is definitely one of the most interesting to work with. The night is long and a tiring one for us but it's the most intense party and one we had loads of fun with!
