Hyogo Music Festivals [2026]: Outdoor Festivals and Events Summary

It’s a festival hosted by the hugely popular youth punk band, Gagaga SP. The festival was organized out of a passionate desire to keep bands rooted in Kobe. All the performers are fiery artists whom Gagaga SP themselves genuinely want to share the stage with.

Born from a desire to share the power of music and new culture and arts from Awaji Island with the world, AWAJIN Fes was created to drive growth. While most music festivals so far have mainly featured artists from outside the island, this festival centers on performers from Awaji Island. You can enjoy traditional, locally rooted music, as well as stages by students who live on the island—an event that passes music on to a new generation. Keep an eye on the music born from Awaji Island’s unique sensibilities. Surrounded by abundant nature, you’ll likely feel your mind and body revitalized by the energy of the music nurtured on this island.
