​

2018's second UK event, Pomathon, is to be held at the Birmingham Conference and Events Centre. Here are some of the latest exciting updates for this SOLD OUT event:

All people who managed to purchase a ticket to the private screening of Kingsglaive (held at the Electric Cinema on September 9th, the day after KupoCon) shall receive a copy of an exclusive artwork poster by the talented Fiveonthe. Kingsglaive cast members are also planned to be in attendance during the screening.

Additionally, KupoCon have now revealed that by NEo Liu's ‘Calling for Rain’ (the catchy song from Kingsglaive which became the conga-line song during KupoCon's evening celebrations) is to be performed live by NEo Liu during Pomathon's evening celebration!

Just when we thought that the evening celebration couldn't get any better than the masquerade ball which had already been planned (complete with Venetian-style chocobo masks for all premium ticket holders). It is set to be a blast!

We hope to see you there!

Freepom (Glasgow, February 15th 2020)​

Freeeeeepoooommm!

If you have a brave heart, you might be interested in the next Scottish event! This will be held at the Hilton, Glasgow, Scotland.

Tickets have not long been released so if you want to guarantee a place at this event, it is suggested that you grab one soon to avoid disappointment.

So far John Bentley (Barret in the FFVII: Remake) has been confirmed as a special guest and he seems very excited. Another guest announcement is
expected this month.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1188815562819932162

The evening event (ticket purchased separately) is FFXII themed and is titled The Big Band Basch. We're promised bunnies (Viera), or maybe the hope is that people take things in that direction... What little we know about this curious plan so far is that it is to be a semi-formal party and people are encouraged to dress in 1920s and 1930s fashion... They are also hoping to get a 'Big Band'.
