Seminal virtual YouTuber Kizuna AI has announced she will be hosting a US virtual tour, themed on locations on Los Angeles and New York.

While the event is described as being set in Los Angeles and New York, the tickets on the Moment House website note that they are “themes.” This is no doubt due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, while keeping the feel of a tour. Those outside the US will still be able to watch the tour.

The tour will e an online DJ event, specifically “CONTACT YOU presented by DJ Kizuna AI.” The first day will be live “from” LA (April 24th at 8:00 p.m. PT), and will feature guests TeddyLoid, and VShojo virtual Youtuber Nyanners. Unannounced guests will appear at the New York show (May 29th at 9:00 p.m. ET).

While both shows are $16.50 USD (with a $7.50 USD “Afterparty Upgrade”), there is also a free Extra Events live on Twitch (March 27th at 11:00 p.m ET, and May 15th at 9:00 p.m. ET).
