Dress Up Town // “Weeb Rock!!” at Astrant

雪 (Yuki) November 17, 2023 No Comments
Dress Up Town came to Astrant in Ede for the very first edition of "Weeb Rock!! Anime and J-Pop Night", rocking the venue with their anime and video game cover songs. D.U.T. is not a strange sight in the Dutch convention world, since the band is often listed as a performing act on local conventions, and with their repertoire of up-to-date modern covers as well as classics, it's no surprise that the venue was packed!

Of course we joined the party as well, and took some photos of their live show. These photos are hosted on our photography portfolio Arlequin Photography.
