Summer Music Festival Held in Eastern Japan [2026]

Yatsui Ichirō of the comedy duo Eleki Comic is also known for his work as a rock DJ, actively engaging in the music industry by releasing compilation albums and more. This is an event he hosts. Rather than being a club music event, it’s a crossover-style event that incorporates a wide range of music.

This is a music festival held since 2016 to raise awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Performances by participating artists can be enjoyed online as well, so people can take part regardless of their circumstances. Don’t miss the stage that blends cutting-edge technologies such as eye-controlled DJ sets, light-based performances that let you experience music visually, and VR. We hope the event will give more people the chance to learn about ALS and help spread support around the world.

The Taro Hakase Music Festival is an event that, after being held as a traditional summer festival hosted by Taro Hakase since 2002, was relaunched in 2019 with a new concept. This open-air festival takes place in two locations, Tokyo and Kyoto, both set in venues where you can feel Japan’s history, offering a new experience of enjoying contemporary music. Before the Tokyo performance, it might be interesting to stroll through places like Shinjuku Gyoen or Meiji Jingu, learning about their history as you make your way to the venue.
