Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

As spring approaches, do you ever feel the urge to soak up live music outdoors? Surrendering yourself to your favorite tunes in an open-air setting under warm sunshine is one of the true joys of spring festivals.

This year, unique spring music festivals are being held all over Japan, each with its own genre and atmosphere.

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of music festivals taking place in spring so you can compare and check out the ones that catch your eye.

Presented by Sunday Folk Promotion, it will take place in May 2026. For the first time, all-day passes and U-22 tickets will be offered, opening up the music experience to younger generations.
