NEW YORK ¨C Two hours before the doors even opened, the line outside New York¡¯s Best Buy Theater snaked around several streets in the middle of Times Square. Fans lined up early for pop star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu¡¯s second-ever New York concert, the finale to her recent North American tour.
Many of the fans embraced color for the Saturday night show, sporting candy-bright hair and giant pastel bows. They caught the attention of passers-by, who asked what was going on or just stared from a distance. One man hawking souvenirs was pretty blunt about what he was looking at, saying ¡°I¡¯ve never seen so many f-cking freaky people!¡±
Ages ranged from toddlers skipping excitedly to 50-year-old adults. Michael Angelakos, lead singer of critically acclaimed electro-pop group Passion Pit, also reportedly showed up to the sold-out performance at the 2,000-plus capacity theater.
