Is there any information on who'll be performing? I'm assuming they'll get Emi Evans or one of the Yorha/Drakengard 3 singers for the vocals, but is the music just going to be performed by a piano trio, string ensemble...?

Fuuuck that would be so lit if they went with a full choir and an orchestral ensemble. Surely this will be recorded unlike the last time music from Nier was performed in concert.

A full orchestra would be amazing, imagine what Shadowlord would sound like. Though even if they do manage to perform Nier music with a choral ensemble at some future event, I'd kind of want Okabe to be part of it, especially for Shadowlord's Castle and The Incomplete Stone.

Did Okabe contribute vocals? That's pretty cool if he did.

He's credited as "male chorus" for those tracks, as well as a few others in Drakengard 3 and Tekken. I think he sung on the Japan-only Smash Bros. 4 remix of Ashley's Song as well.

I really hope this is recorded or live streamed. Not only for the NieR: Automata news, but also for the music itself. Especially if some of the old songs were rearranged and the new songs are just exciting all together. This is also the best place to announce that Emi Evans is back for Automata.

Emi Evans on vocals, Keigo Hoashi on piano, Takanori Goto on guitar, Reiko Tsuchiya's quartet on strings.

Probably worth noting that among the guests at this event are the VAs Yui Ishikawa and Mai Kadowaki. The latter played Emil in the JP version of Nier, so Yui Ishikawa is probably voicing someone in Nier Automata.
 
All I can hope for is a recording. Considering there's pre-release talk of Automata there it'd have to release soon too.

Just put it up on youtube later, please. D:
