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

Shimokitazawa SOUND CRUISINGSaturday, May 23, Tokyo Metropolis

This event takes place across multiple venues, such as live houses in Shimokitazawa. Its concept is a “party”—more specifically, it’s organized with the idea of “not a scaled-down version of a festival that draws tens of thousands, but an interesting party × number of venues.” There’s no way an event with such a fresh concept wouldn’t be a blast.

On numerous stages set up around town, amateur musicians from inside and outside the city perform in a variety of genres, including rock, pop, Japanese taiko, gospel, and children’s piano recitals. There are also workshops and a stamp rally, so you can enjoy exploring the city as you go.
