Spring music festival to be held in western Japan [2026]

cinema staff are artists from Gifu Prefecture. The event they host every year in their hometown of Gifu is called “OOPARTS.” It’s a two-day festival with two stages—one outdoor and one indoor—running simultaneously. In addition to the stages, there’s an official bar and a food court, making it a live event where you can enjoy music along with great food and drinks. If you get tired from all the excitement, you can take a break to refresh and then dive back in, so there’s never a dull moment throughout the day. This live event is especially recommended for those who want to enjoy performances by a variety of artists at their own pace.

This is an audition-style event for amateur bands that started in 2010 in Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture. Anyone engaged in musical activities, from young people to seniors, can participate as long as they are amateur citizens. Several screening stages are held before performing on stage, including audio and performance reviews, and the 10 bands that make it through compete live on the day for the Kameyama Music Jamboree Award. Come enjoy the energetic, high-level music of these bands live at the venue.
