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

Kiramune Music Festival is a joint live event hosted by the voice actor artist label “Kiramune” since 2009. Set at Yokohama Arena, label members including Hiroshi Kamiya, Daisuke Namikawa, and Tetsuya Kakihara come together to deliver a diverse range of performances, from solo acts to unit formations. Beloved by voice actor fans, this annual celebration will be held over two days in May 2026.

This is a self-produced festival hosted by the girls’ loud rock band Hanabie. It began as a live show celebrating the members’ high school graduation in 2018 and has grown in scale each year, becoming a regular annual event. Set at KT Zepp Yokohama, the day will be packed with heat and energy as domestic acts like JasonAndrew and KALASiM join Australia’s STAND ATLANTIC to “liberate” the audience with thunderous, loud sound. Scheduled for May 2026.

The Kamakura Petit Rock Festival is an outdoor live music event without electricity that has been running since 2014. Held at Yuigahama Seaside Park, attendees can enjoy up-close, unplugged performances while feeling the sea breeze. Aiming to provide a space to experience music itself up close—rather than music as branded consumption—diverse artists, both famous and unknown, perform simultaneously across multiple sites. Admission is free, making it easy for everyone from children and local residents to tourists to drop by. Scheduled for May 2026.
