Winter Music Festival in Eastern Japan [2026]

This music festival was created to provide a venue for young people engaged in musical activities in Sagamihara City. With the city’s support, the participating bands themselves handle planning and operations. It takes place over two days: a festival stage purely for enjoying music, and a contest stage where skills are put to the test. The contest stage promises to be a hotly contested battleground where bands compete with passion and technique for the top prize. Thinking that a band could debut on the national stage from here makes it impossible to take your eyes off the ones you’ll want to support.

This music festival was created with the cooperation of the city to provide a venue for young people engaged in musical activities in Sagamihara. The participating bands not only perform but also handle planning and operations themselves. It takes place over two days: a festival stage for the pure enjoyment of music and a contest stage where techniques are put to the test. On the festival stage, some bands will perform cover songs while others will present fully-fledged original tracks, so there’s a chance that a band could make a nationwide debut from here. It’s hard to take your eyes off the bands you’ll want to root for.
