I was wondering is Musicfest still going on 2012? Cuz I didn't see it shows up on the website.....

From what I know, that information, along with any guests of honors or confirmed panels, is not uploaded onto the website until at least 2 months after registration opens. With that said, it would not make any sense for Fanime to put an end to MusicFest, and seeing that registration opened up much later than before, it wouldn't be surprising if such announcements are made within a couple of weeks from Friday.

We normally make announcements as guests after guests are finalized. If MusicFest weren't planned on happening at FanimeCon 2012, I'd be shocked. :P

There will be a MusicFest. Unfortunately, most announcements are (normally) delayed by discussion and contracts. :(

I'm sure they'll announce it on the main site, when they have Music Fest guests.

I checked my emails from last year and at this date there had been no international guests announced. We got the website launched much earlier this year which makes it seem like guest announcements are taking longer this year but they are in line with years past.

Ah my mistake. I should have looked for the individual guests rather than going through my archive.

This is funny to me because you're one of the few staffers that know about guests right before we announce them. :D

Well if it was like last year, everything would be annouced the start of May, maybe the last days of April.

As MPLe said, each year differs. If we brought back the same guests and everything was the same, then maybe...but then that would be a boring con:) We are endeavoring to let you all know as soon as a new guest is confirmed, but things are always changing.

Well, that's a bit comforting. I hate the anticipation of not knowing, but that little update is helpful. I am hoping to see something by next week or the beginning of May. Either way, only about a month away. So excited!
