SCANDAL's Hello World Tour Coming to Anime Central
Since their major debut in 2008, SCANDAL has skyrocketed to the tops of the Oricon charts and became the fastest girl band to ever perform at the Nippon Budokan since debuting. Some of their anime tie-ins include songs featured in "Bleach," "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood," "Star Driver," and "Pokémon," among others. The SCANDAL WORLD TOUR 2015 "HELLO WORLD" will take the girls through Japan, Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the United States.
Tickets will not be required for Friday evening's concert, but attendees must show their Anime Central badges at the door to gain access. There will also be a small number of premium seat tickets available for advance purchase. Premium seat tickets will give purchasers assigned seating in the sections closest to the stage on the main floor. General admission audience (those without tickets) will be allowed to fill in to any open, non-reserved seat, including the entire balcony, upon entry. More information about premium seat tickets will follow.
Anime Central 2015 takes place May 15-17 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.
