Washington, D.C. (June 13, 2022) – The musical act G.L.A.M.S. will perform at Otakon 2022, according to Otakorp Inc. This will be the U.S. debut of the act, with a concert performance on Saturday, as well as performances during Opening Ceremonies and the Masquerade halftime.

G.L.A.M.S is an multidisciplinary art project begun in 2013 by Mikaru, a singer/songwriter from Tokyo who is well-known for having been the leader and vocalist of the bands Dio - Distraught Overlord and BLACK LINE.

This will be the first time Mikaru has been in the U.S. since Dio - Distraught Overlord's US debut in 2008.

Otakon will be held from July 29-31 in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
