Tokyo Music Festivals [2026]: Outdoor Festivals and Events Summary

Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of music festivals taking place in Tokyo.

As Japan’s central hub, Tokyo hosts an incredible variety of music events of all sizes and genres throughout the year.

In addition to major festivals that draw popular artists from Japan and abroad, there are also plenty of smaller, handmade events that radiate a warm, personal touch.

The musical spectrum is just as diverse—rock, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, anime songs, and even club music.

You’re sure to find an event that makes you think, “I want to go!” so use this article to discover the ones that really speak to you.
