We’ve put together a roundup of music events happening in October, including outdoor rock festivals, circuit-style festivals, and jazz street events.

We’re grateful to have the chance to encounter wonderful music again this year at events like Aomori Rock Festival, earth garden, Yokohama Jazz Promenade, and BOROFESTA!

October

Cosquín en JapónSat 10/10–Mon 10/12, Fukushima Prefecture

Cosquín en Japón is Japan’s largest folklore (Latin American music) festival, held in Kawamata, Fukushima Prefecture since 1975. Named in homage to the music festival in Cosquín, Argentina, the venue is filled with the rustic tones produced by Andean instruments such as the quena, charango, and bombo. In the preliminary Cosquín Parade, townspeople march in South American traditional costumes, transforming the entire town into a South American scene. It will be held over three days in October 2026.
