Summer of Sonic Returns For 2016, Funding Needed

The biggest Sonic party in London goes for “one more run,” but needs the fans' support.

Following the teaser on its Twitter page, today saw the official confirmation: Summer of Sonic 2016 is happening, just in time for Sonic the Hedgehog’s 25th Anniversary. It’ll all go down August 6th at the ILEC Convention Center in Earls Court, London. It is expected SoS ‘16 will bring 1,000+ Sonic fans from all over the globe.

This time around, event staff are using the crowd-funding service Kickstarter to help cover various expenses for SoS ‘16; that’s where the fans can help out. By backing the Kickstarter project, they’ll not only receive tickets (the only means of purchasing them) but extra rewards the more they pledge. You can do so by clicking here or the link below. There’s much more info concerning plans for this year’s shindig via the links as well.

Read the statement put out on the official Summer of Sonic website by the organizers Svend “Dreadknux” Joscelyne and Adam “T-Bird” Tuff:

"It's been a while, but we're back! To celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog's 25th Anniversary, the Summer of Sonic is returning to host the biggest fan convention ever!

Since 2008 we have been entertaining fans with a day-long party that allows the young (and young-at-heart) to come together and meet up - against an electric backdrop full of live music, art contests, official Sonic game demos and meet and greets with the celebrities behind your favourite franchise!

After a two-year hiatus, we want to do it all again! But this time we need your help to make the show as fantastic as we can possibly make it. So we are introducing a Kickstarter project to Summer of Sonic 2016 in order to raise the funds we need to host an epic Sonic party right in the middle of London!

We understand that in previous years, we have given away tickets for Summer of Sonic for free on our website; for 2016, we are selling entrance to the convention via our Kickstarter page. So if you'd like to help us host a great show, and get an exclusive invitation to a fully SEGA-supported event to celebrate Sonic's 25th, we'd really appreciate it if you considered pledging to our project.

We have set a goal that we feel is realistic for us to put on a show that matches the fun and excitement that we have hosted in the past, and we hope you'll help us get there - together! We will of course look to updating the Kickstarter project over the course of its 30-day life too, so do keep an eye on the page for the latest updates.

The full Summer of Sonic 2016 Official Website will be coming soon. Until then, you can find our Kickstarter page right here, where we answer all your questions about the show, including date and venue details: http://tiny.cc/sos16/. Thank you so much in advance for your support - from 2008 right through to 2016!

Svend Joscelyne & Adam Tuff"
