Spring Music Festival Schedule Overview [2026]

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.

An admission-free event will be held with the theme of uplifting hearts through music in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, so that a wide range of people can enjoy music. The stage will be energized mainly by artists from Kurume. Since it’s being held in their hometown, every artist will be giving passionate performances you won’t want to miss. There will also be food and drink stalls from popular Kurume eateries, so you can enjoy meals and alcohol. It’s a great event even for those attending an outdoor festival for the first time!

ASYLUM Fukushima was launched in response to the Great East Japan Earthquake. The event originally began in Okinawa in 2007. The ASYLUM held in Fukushima is an event imbued with reflections on the disaster, under the concept of “Requiem—and the Future.”

With “From Sorrow to Joy” as our motto, this event lets everyone learn and reflect on disaster recovery through a music festival. While feeling the richness of nature, let’s light our shared hopes with a candle-night and cheer on Fukushima through music.
