FETES is produced by Superglorious, a live event production firm responsible for orchestrating events with a very eclectic and exciting mix of artists. The New York Anime Festival, an anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture convention, will take place October 8-10, 2010 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in Manhattan. It is created by and co-located with the New York Comic Con. Puffy AmiYumi will be appearing at NYAF prior to their FETES performance. NYAF has already announced Japanese rock band VAMPS will appear as guests, and comics legends Stan Lee, John Romita, Sr., and John Romita, Jr. will headline the New York Comic Con.

FETES -- going into its third year -- is a night of music that brings together musical artists from both America and Japan, focusing on the borderlessness of song, and creating an evening appealing to anime fans, audiophiles, and casual New Yorkers interested in something new. Presented in Irving Plaza (East 15th Street, New York, NY) for the first time, FETES is proud to take place in this historic venue, and will be presenting a roster of performers fully befitting the concert hall.

"FETES has been a unique attraction at the New York Anime Festival since 2008," NYAF and NYCC Show Manager Lance Fensterman said. "And, in 2010, we're excited to welcome in a new year of FETES -- with our biggest group of artists from both the US and Japan that we've seen yet."

"I'm very happy to work with the renowned Puffy AmiYumi," FETES Director Hayden Brereton said. "Their exceptional body of work and global appeal will promise a very exciting show for our audience."

Boom Boom Satellites、Zazen Boys、Echostream、and Puffy AmiYumi will be appearing at the New York Anime Festival and New York Comic Con throughout the weekend for panel discussions and autograph signings before taking the stage on Sunday night at the Irving Plaza.
