List of Artist-Hosted Festivals Nationwide [2026]

There are music festivals all over Japan, but this time we’ve gathered artist-organized festivals from across the country.

Because these festivals are hosted by the artists themselves, you can feel the bonds and connections between artists, as well as their passion for the festivals.

You can enjoy a different atmosphere from ordinary festivals.
