Japanese Action Comic Punk Band from Outer Space Returns to Spa-Con 

Peelander-Z descends from outer space to Spa-Con for the opening night concert. 

Get ready for some weirdness hijinks. Peelander–Z, the Japanese action comic punk band from outer space, descends on Hot Springs once again for a Friday evening opening-night concert September 19, for the Ninth Spa-Con comics and pop culture convention in Hot Springs. The convention runs from September 19 through 21. 

“Peelander-Z played the very first Spa-Con and we are pumped to be bringing them back for our ninth convention,” Visit Hot Springs Special Events Manager Alexis Hampo said. “We are so grateful they’re making the trek from planet Peelander all the way to Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, but honestly, Spa-Con is always worth intergalactic travel.” 

At its live shows, Peelander–Z guarantees intense audience participation and a chance to exercise. The members dress in colorful costumes reminiscent of Japanese anime, though they describe their outfits as their skin. The act also features The Red Squid and human bowling. 

The Peelander–Z concert is scheduled for Friday, September 19, and is included with a Spa-Con Weekend or VIP pass. Tickets: $35 for daily passes: $150 for weekend passes — can be purchased at www.spa-con.org

Spa-Con attractions also include world-renowned costume creator Thomas DePetrillo, famous for his Extreme Costumes developed for Hasbro, Power Rangers, Intel, and others.
