The Belfast Anime Disco is a themed club night built around anime music, cosplay, dancing and the rare pleasure of being in a room where everybody understands the reference.
Is another Anime Disco confirmed?
No future edition is currently published on this site. That is deliberate: NerdyNI only marks an event as upcoming when the date, venue and ticket source have been verified.

What previous nights looked like
Previous editions at The Botanic Inn filled the room with anime themes, cosplay and a proper dance floor rather than treating the fandom as decoration around a generic club night.
The event gallery includes photographs from previous NerdyNI anime nights. Completed listings in the past-event archive link back to their original Eventbrite or public source pages.
Do I need to cosplay?
No. Cosplay is welcome when the event listing says so, but it is not an entry requirement. Wear something you can comfortably spend the night in and check the individual event page for age, access and cloakroom details.
Before attending
Use the dated NerdyNI event page and the linked ticketing page as the source of truth. Those pages carry the confirmed time, age guidance, venue and sales status for each edition.
