JAPAN JAMSat 5/2–Tue 5/5, Chiba Prefecture
This event had been held as JAPAN JAM BEACH until 2016, but due to facility constraints at Makuhari Seaside Park, the venue, we relocated starting in 2017. The new venue spans roughly 50 hectares, and the grounds where the stages are set up are adjacent to each other, allowing for a compact layout. What’s more, it has become a truly groundbreaking urban festival, just an 8-minute walk from the nearest station!
| Schedule | Saturday, May 2, 2026 – Tuesday, May 5, 2026 |
| place | Soga Sports Park, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture |
