HomeKita's Got Talent?!
Whether you're set to dance the night away or you're a budding mime artist, we'd love to see what secret skills you've got hidden up your sleeves!
KGT?! takes place right before the Closing Ceremony on Sunday afternoon, and it's always a unique experience — we've had burlesque shows, opera singing, and many other interesting acts appearing on the docket, so nothing is too strange for the stage... within reason, of course!
Idol Festival
A celebration of the idol scene, featuring a talented lineup of musicians and dancers from all over the country to bring you a show you won't forget — get those lightsticks ready and prepare to wota your hearts out with a variety of acts featuring J-pop, Vocaloid, anisong and K-pop!
Alternative Fashion Show
Hosted by Pinku Cult and Cosmic Boop, the Fashion Show is the perfect place to show off your best alternative fashion fits! Both dealers and attendees are encouraged to strut their stuff on the catwalk and showcase their favourite designs and apparel.
AMV & CMV Competition
A staple event at Kitacon, the AMV showcase allows talented editors to showcase their art of combining kick-ass tunes with anime, TV, movies or video game footage to create a visual feast in the form of an AMV. We always get a great range of entries, and we've had some cracking winners in the past.
As in previous years, the competition will also include CMVs — Cosplay Music Videos! This is a chance for talented editors to show off their skills with cosplay themed music videos using footage taken from events they've attended.
There will be one grand prize across the entire competition, and the winner will be announced at the Closing Ceremony!
Parties & DJ Sets
If there's one thing we here at Kitacon know what to do, it's throwing a great party — no exceptions.
Each night there'll be a variety of DJ sets available to tickle whatever musical fancy you might have, as well as our staple Sunday evening event — the All-Genre Riot. It's a true clash of the titans as DJs line up to pull out their best picks, hyping up the crowds and ending the weekend with a bang!
Awards
Each year, during the Closing Ceremony, we hand out awards to both our winners of the various competitions we run during the event, but also some extra-special ones that we hope will inspire and commend members of the community who have gone the extra mile.
It's our way of saying thank you to the amazing people who make Kitacon what it is — you, the attendees and members of the UK convention scene that make events like this possible!
Burlesque & Gala
Why not finish the convention with a show? Featuring a double bill of dazzling burlesque performances and a breathtaking ballroom gala fit for any and all dancers, it's the perfect way to close out your weekend.
