Music Festivals in May [2026]: Outdoor Festivals and Events Summary

As its name suggests, the Takatsuki Jazz Street is a citywide jazz festival; last year, performances took place at over 50 venues around Hankyu Takatsuki-shi Station and JR Takatsuki Station. Events like this, with stages scattered throughout the city, fill every corner with music and create a delightful sense of stepping out of the everyday. Another big draw is that admission is free, making it easy to join in.

This is an idol event jointly organized by the live event @JAM, which continues to promote pop culture, and TV Asahi’s Roppongi Idol Festival. Set in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho, idols will gather for an urban circuit-style festival. Don’t miss the performances by a carefully selected lineup of top artists, who will showcase the culture of Reiwa-era idols from here. Let’s support them at the live venues as we work together—idols and fans alike—to build a new idol culture.
