Two hours before the doors even opened, the line outside New York's Best Buy Theater snaked around several streets in the middle of Times Square. Fans lined up early for pop star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's second-ever New York concert, the finale to her recent North American tour.

Many of the fans embraced color for the Saturday night show, sporting candy-bright hair and giant pastel bows. They caught the attention of passers-by, who asked what was going on or just stared from a distance. One man hawking souvenirs was pretty blunt about what he was looking at, saying "I've never seen so many f-cking freaky people!"

Ages ranged from toddlers skipping excitedly to 50-year-old adults. Michael Angelakos, lead singer of critically acclaimed electro-pop group Passion Pit, also reportedly showed up to the sold-out performance at the 2,000-plus capacity theater.
