Aniplex announced this week that the Fate/Grand Order U.S.A. Tour 2019 will begin on February 23rd. The tour, which includes stops at multiple locations throughout the year's remainder, begins with a two-day event in Los Angeles.
The first Fate/Grand Order U.S.A. Tour 2019 event is being held from 6:00 to 9:00 PM (PST) on February 23rd, and admittance that day only is priced at $20 USD. The event continues on February 24 from 10:00AM to 6:00PM (PST) and is priced at $30 USD. Those who wish to can purchase tickets to attend both days, for a combined/discounted price of $45 USD.
According to a press release, the kickoff event will feature "a plethora of attractions including many immersive photo-op areas, a Challenge Quest Battle Zone, and a Kigurami Greeting Stage where fans can catch a glimpse of the Female Protagonist and more from 'Learning with Manga.'"
The event also includes a large-scale Fate/Grand Order Monument that captures an "iconic" scene "sure to pull at any fan's heartstrings." There also will be life-size weapons familiar to those who have played the 2017 mobile game, including flags for two versions of Jeanne d'Arc, the Aestus Estus belonging to Nero Claudius, Gilgamesh's sword, Leonardo da Vinci's staff and "the never-before seen Sakata Kintoki (Rider)'s Golden Bear and Altria Pendragon (Alter)'s Excalibur Morgan."
Kana Ueda (the voice of Ishtar), Satoshi Tsuruoka (the voice of Arash, Gilles de Rais, Caligula and Spartacus) and FGO Project's creative producer, Yosuke Shiokawa, are scheduled to participate in special panels on the stage. Aniplex also promises "exclusive tour merchandise" and the availability of goods from other vendors.
In addition to its initial appearance in Los Angeles, the tour will make stops at Anime Central (Rosemont, IL), Anime Expo (also in Los Angeles) and at Anime Weekend Atlanta in (you guessed it) Atlanta, Georgia. A final stop is planned at Anime NYC in November.
