Kansai Music Festivals [2026]: Spotlight on Must-See Outdoor Fests & Events

RUSH BALL is a summer tradition of Osaka’s rock scene that has been held since 1999. The venue, Izumiotsu Phoenix, faces the sea, where you can feel the ocean breeze, and its sprawling lawns make for an incredibly comfortable festival experience. The lineup never disappoints—expect everything from staple festival veterans to promising young newcomers!

ONE Music Camp is billed as “a festival where everyone plays together,” with a concept of enjoying music and playing freely amid great nature. The venue, Sanda Athletic, is a campsite in a natural setting featuring plenty of wooden athletic equipment, and as the festival’s name suggests, attendees can camp at the event. Even without a tent, you can stay in a bungalow, making it easy to enjoy camping. Be sure to experience the collaboration between nature and music.

One of the largest joint university events in the Kansai region, bringing together light music clubs from across Kansai! It’s an incredibly exciting festival featuring not only original and cover bands, but also bands from the same generation and hot, fast-rising artists invited as special guests!
