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

I think many people have become more cautious about going to live shows since the COVID-19 outbreak. This camp-in festival, organized by WiRELESS, a live event promoter, was planned with the hope of creating moments that let people enjoy themselves as much as they did before—if not more. There are rental plans and bus tours from Tokyo to the venue, so even those without equipment or a car can join easily, making it accessible for first-timers. Why not take this opportunity to relax and enjoy music with your family and friends?

MUTEK is a festival where you can enjoy electronic music and digital art that began in Montreal, Canada in 2000. It’s an international festival that has also taken place in Latin American countries such as Mexico and Brazil, and it was first held in Japan in 2016. Centered around Miraikan – The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Koto Ward, you can experience performances by artists gathered from around the world at various venues. After immersing yourself in art at Miraikan, a full-course experience awaits, with live houses keeping the party going until morning!

The music program The Covers, broadcast monthly on BS Premium, offers a unique twist: the guest artists perform cover versions of classic songs that are familiar to them. The event The Covers’ Fes is organized by that program. It will feature collaborative performances between artists that you won’t see at other festivals. The event’s highlights will be aired on BS Premium at a later date.
