Pangea EXPO is a circuit-style music event held across the entire area to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the live music venue Pangea, which was founded in 2011 in Osaka’s America-mura. Using multiple nearby venues such as BIGCAT, ANIMA, SUNHALL, and HOKAGE, the event allows attendees to walk around the neighborhood while enjoying performances by a diverse lineup of artists.
