Online Festival Schedule Summary [2026]
In 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19, almost all events were canceled or postponed.
Many fans had spent the year looking forward to music festivals held nationwide every year, so I’m sure a lot of people are disappointed by this unavoidable situation.
Amid all this, there’s been a rise in audience-free live shows using livestreaming, and that trend has reached the festival scene as well.
Now you can enjoy music festivals from across the country—and even around the world—right from home.
In this article, we’ll introduce a roundup of festivals being held online using livestreams!
Of course, nothing beats the excitement of being at the venue, but enjoying a festival at your own pace at home can be a luxurious experience, too!
A crisis can be an opportunity—why not take this chance to enjoy festivals you’ve never been able to attend before?
January
Music Lane Festival OkinawaFri 1/30 – Sun 2/1, Okinawa Prefecture
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPTu3sjjwPf/A showcase festival that brings together up-and-coming artists active in Japan and abroad. Festival and music industry professionals are invited to discover new talent. In Japan, one of the earliest and most notable organizers is the Music Lane Festival Okinawa. Because it receives many participation offers from overseas, this format is more common outside Japan, and it’s an exciting event where general audiences can encounter artists who may soon break through.
