Domestic circuit events [2026] City festival list

When it comes to circuit events, they’re not just about music—they can also center on food and visuals, and they often become citywide festivals that make use of the whole town: not only music venues like halls and live houses, but also restaurants, temples and shrines, warehouses, and even streets.

Their appeal lies in the way you can take in the area’s history and culture all at once.

This year as well, circuit events and city festivals are being held all over the country, and they’ve taken root as a solid music culture that goes beyond short-lived trends like the outdoor and DIY booms.

Here’s a roundup of domestic circuit events and music festivals held around town.

Tokyo Metropolis

SKA STREETSunday, 3/22, Tokyo Metropolis

A circuit festival centered on ska that was launched by Shimokitazawa ReG in 2014. This time, it will be held across two live venues in Shimokitazawa. It’s sure to be a day when the music town of Shimokitazawa overflows with ska! Ticket holders will receive an exclusive rubber wristband as a gift.

SYNCHRONICITYTokyo, Sat–Sun, April 11–12

Held under the concept of “Encounters and Inspiration that Connect to the Future,” this event uses green electricity—that is, power generated with low environmental impact from sources like wind, solar, and biomass. Hosting it with sustainable energy is a wonderful initiative that aligns perfectly with the concept.

HUG ROCK FESTIVALThursday, May 7, Tokyo

HUG ROCK FESTIVAL is a circuit-style event held across multiple venues. It’s organized by Teppei Hagu, a former comedian known as “the man who dedicated his life to female singer-songwriters.” As such, a key feature of this festival is that it’s exclusively for female artists. Additionally, they’re running a popular campaign each time where the first 300 female attendees can enter for free.

Musashino Music FestivalSaturday, May 16, Tokyo Metropolis

Rennon Sound Carnival is a circuit-style event held throughout Kichijoji. Over 30 artists will perform live across six venues set up in Kichijoji. Since it’s a circuit event, attendees move between venues to catch their favorite acts, but one of the charms of this format is stumbling into a venue on a whim and unexpectedly falling in love with a new, unknown artist’s live performance.
