Girl group fans, get ready to be dazzled as "AKB48 Group Asia Festival 2021" is making a virtual return on June 27. Led by Japanese girl group AKB48, the festival will bring together a total of 145 participating members from all its sister groups (JKT48, BNK48, MNL48, AKB48 Team SH, SGO48, AKB48 Team TP and CGM48), who will perform at various venues across Asia. This hybrid event, which combines virtual and offline elements, will utilise XR technology to create an engaging and memorable experience for fans.

AKB48 Group Asia Festival was first held in Bangkok in Jan 2019. It was the first time in the history of AKB48 that domestic and international groups gathered in one place. The well-received festival was held again on Aug 24 of the same year in Shanghai, titled AKB48 Group Asia Festival, with each group focusing on sharing the local culture of each region.

For this coming event, "AKB48 Group Asia Festival 2021" will be upgraded to include both online and offline performances. In Japan, Tokyo Dome City Hall will be used as the main stage. Meanwhile, connected to other theatres and venues will be livestreams by each group in each city, meaning it will be a major festival to take place simultaneously across Asia. One of the main attractions of this year's festival is the incorporation of XR technology, which is unique to online staging. The festival can now be enjoyed and experienced in many ways, allowing fans from all around the world to interact beyond borders while enjoying the content.

"AKB48 Group Asia Festival 2021" will be held on June 27 from 1pm Bangkok time. Online tickets start from 860 baht and are available now on the event's official English information page akb48asiafes.com/en.
