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

In our “Free Music Festival,” the word “free” embodies three meanings: free of charge, freedom, and freedom from various boundaries. It’s a festival where artists of diverse genres perform, offering enjoyment across generations and opportunities for new discoveries.

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.

ULTRA, one of the world’s largest music festivals originally held in the United States, has been held in Japan since 2014. Staged across the globe, ULTRA has become a major festival in Japan as well, known for its overwhelmingly lavish production. With countless artists who lead the global dance music scene performing, this is an event you can’t take your eyes off.
