A "MIKU EXPO Digital Stars" pre-party event will take place at Seattle's FRED Wildlife Refuge, San Francisco's Codeword, Los Angeles' The Lash, and an undisclosed location in New York a day before the cities' respective shows. The event will feature a variety of different musical artists and merchandise at each venue.

The free event will include a chance to help make a collaborative music video and will feature small art exhibitions. The event's official website has the list of locations.

The Hatsune Miku Expo world tour began in May 2014 in Indonesia and has since stopped in Los Angeles, New York City, Shanghai, and five Japanese cities.
