Kanto’s Popular Music Festivals [2026]: A Complete Guide to Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Outdoor Events

This rock festival started in the spring of 2023 to energize the North Kanto area. It brings together must-see and supportive artists who fire up the crowd with their performances—an essential part of any music festival. It’s a new-style event that rotates its venue each year among Ibaraki, Tochigi, and Gunma prefectures, and we’re also focusing on the market aspect so it can become an event cherished by the local community. As with any great fest, you can indulge in popular local foods and take part in workshops—unique experiences you can only enjoy here.

As a new festival organized by Ibaraki Broadcasting, the LuckyFM Green Festival has been held since 2022. Following the relocation of the ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL, the event has adopted the motto “Don’t let the flame of Ibaraki’s festival culture go out,” and has been reimagined with a new concept as a celebration of music, food, and art at its venue, Hitachi Seaside Park. Featuring local ingredients and a wide range of art and music genres, it’s also recommended as a family-friendly event. It’s sure to become one of your favorite summer memories!

The FM Tochigi-hosted event “haruberrylivw.” The venue is the rooftop of Lala Square Utsunomiya in front of Utsunomiya Station. Access is excellent, and since it’s on the rooftop, it feels open—looks like it’ll be a pleasant spring festival.

A peaceful outdoor festival where kids can run around barefoot. With an average of around 400 attendees each year, it’s just the right size. Many vendors sell food and goods, making it a great outing for families and couples.
