This festival started in 2010 as BLARE DOWN BARRIERS, a live event hosted by coldrain, and from 2020—its 10th year—it has been held as BLARE FEST. With a stellar lineup that festival lovers won’t be able to resist, a sellout seems inevitable. We recommend checking ticket information early. It’s the kind of festival where you’ll want to catch every second across all three stages, so if you’re coming from out of town, plan to stay overnight and make the most of it.

Schedule	Saturday–Sunday, February 7–8, 2026
place	Kinjo-futo 2-chome, Minato Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture / Port Messe Nagoya
