We’re celebrating the first week of summer with guest announcements! Last time we focused on education and panel programming, this time it’s entertainers and dances!
PopCult Anime Con is thrilled to announce Local Legend Matt Myers of LeetStreet Boys, LeetMusic and HitherYon Games as our musical guest for 2023! A former Waltham resident, Matt is most well-known as the singer/songwriter of anime band LeetStreet Boys whose debut single “Yuri The Only One” was released in 2008. Happy 15th Anniversary! To celebrate, Matt will be sharing stories of his time with the band and what he’s been up to since as both a video game composer & developer. There will also be a short solo performance of some of LeetStreet Boy’s greatest hits during the Masquerade! WEBSITE / YOUTUBE / BANDCAMP
It’s also our deepest pleasure to announce the Rolind the Traveler as official convention House Deejay Bard for PCAC23! Rolind is a multi-talented musician, vendor and entertainer at King Richard’s Faire in Carver, MA. Lately he’s been gathering a following of fellow adventurers on TikTok, where he tells tales of his journeys in hopes of spreading positivity, love and happiness to those who need it. Rolind will be hosting our dances this year, and may be found around the convention playing music, doing magic tricks and spreading cheer to attendees! TIKTOK / INSTAGRAM
Matt and Rolind have come together to help us with a new themed dance to help Transport You All to a World of Wonder and Music. Our Sunday Evening Closing Ceremonies dance this year will be a Semiformal, with live piano music by Matt Myers and ocarina accompaniment from Rolind the Traveler. Anime, game and modern prom classics will round out the evening’s playlist. Fancy dress is encouraged but will not be necessary to attend. Find more info on this and our other dances on our Themed Dances page, updating soon!
