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.

This event is hosted by PIZZA OF DEATH, led by Ken Yokoyama, guitarist of the legendary three-piece punk band Hi-STANDARD. There’s no doubt it’ll feature a scorching lineup again this year. A must-check event for live music fans.

A flagship Japanese festival that has been held since 2000. Not only top domestic acts but also many renowned international artists perform, making it an event that draws global attention. A defining feature of Summer Sonic is that it’s an urban, touring-style festival. In addition to being easily accessible, the Tokyo and Osaka lineups swap over the two days. So whichever venue you attend, if you go for both days, you can see all the headliners.
