Animeros

Animeros brings a one-of-a-kind cultural fusion to the beloved Nelsonville Music Festival, blending the passionate world of anime music with the eclectic, community-driven spirit of one of Ohio's most cherished independent music events. Set against the rolling hills of Nelsonville at the iconic Stuart's Opera House, this multiday celebration June 18–20, 2026 delivers an unforgettable weekend where genres collide and communities unite. The 2026 Nelsonville Music Festival lineup is nothing short of extraordinary, featuring Animeros alongside a powerhouse roster that includes the soulful Marcus King Band, indie favorites Fruit Bats, the buzzy rock outfit Geese, New Orleans bounce legend Big Freedia, and the genre-defying Bertha – Grateful Drag.

Whether you're a longtime Nelsonville devotee or a first-time festivalgoer drawn by Animeros's unique blend of anime culture and live instrumentation, the multiday pass unlocks the full experience — three days of music, community, and magic in one of the most intimate festival settings in the Midwest. Come for the anime, stay for the memories.
