Spring Music Festival in Eastern Japan [2026]

Hachidori, short for Hachioji Rock Dream, is a circuit-style event held in Hachioji. Not only rock bands from Hachioji but indie bands from all over the country gather for it. In addition to rock bands, idols and comedians also perform.

It’s a circuit event dedicated to idols, split into daytime and nighttime sessions, with the night session running all night long. You can see a wide range of groups, from idols active on the front lines to those on the verge of breaking out.

This is a live event hosted by J-WAVE that features an impressively star-studded lineup of artists. It seems there will also be childcare facilities at the venue, so parents with small children can attend with peace of mind—what a nice touch!

The popular circuit festival Mihatodai, held in Osaka’s Minami district, will be taking place in Tokyo again this year. Each year it features a large number of performers, and with nine venues on the schedule, this famous Kansai circuit event is finally becoming firmly established in the Kanto region as well.
