ClariS fans around the world, get ready! The beloved J-pop unit is heading to Europe for their first overseas performance under the new trio lineup. ClariS is set to perform at Pyrkon 2025, Poland’s largest fantasy-themed convention, this June. Alongside this exciting international debut, the group has also announced the release of “Alicia -season 03-,” a new self-cover version of one of their most iconic anime theme songs. If you’re a fan of anime music, fantasy festivals, or ClariS’s evolving journey, this is news you don’t want to miss!
Who is ClariS?
ClariS is a Japanese pop unit known for their bright harmonies and strong presence in the anime music scene. Debuting in 2010 with “irony,” the opening theme for Oreimo, they quickly became a household name with hits like “Connect” from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. After several member changes, ClariS entered their third chapter in 2025, now consisting of Clara, Ellie, and Anna.
What is Pyrkon 2025?
Pyrkon is one of Central Europe’s largest pop culture festivals, held annually in Poznań, Poland. The event is known for its celebration of fantasy, sci-fi, and anime, drawing over 50,000 attendees. This year’s edition, taking place from June 13 to June 15, will feature ClariS as a guest performer in the “Manga and Anime Zone.” This marks their first performance in Poland—and the first overseas concert for the new trio.
When and Where?
ClariS will perform at Pyrkon 2025 from June 13 (Fri) to June 15 (Sun), at the Poznań International Fair venue. The event spans three days and includes live concerts, cosplay competitions, panels, artist booths, and more. ClariS will likely be featured in special anime-themed concerts and meet & greet sessions.
Why is this appearance significant?
This isn’t just another live show—it’s a milestone. Pyrkon 2025 will be ClariS’s debut live performance in Europe and the first time international fans will see the new trio on stage. It also represents the group’s expanding global reach and the increasing demand for Japanese artists in international fan communities. The festival’s theme of fantasy and anime aligns perfectly with ClariS’s musical legacy.
How else is ClariS celebrating 2025?
Alongside their live performance in Poland, ClariS will release a self-cover of “Alicia” on May 14. Originally released in 2020 as the ending theme for Magia Record, “Alicia” is one of their most emotional tracks. The new “season 03” version reimagines the song with fresh vocals and arrangements, showcasing the synergy of the new trio. This follows the successful re-releases of “Colorful” and “ALIVE,” both of which gained strong streaming traction.
Future overseas performances
Pyrkon is just the beginning. ClariS is also scheduled to perform at AnimagiC 2025 in Mannheim, Germany (August 1–3) and Animethon 2025 in Edmonton, Canada (August 8–10). These appearances will include concerts, autograph sessions, and special anime music showcases, allowing fans across continents to experience ClariS live for the first time.
