Winter Music Festival in Eastern Japan [2026]

The cozy, community-driven music festival created by Tama Ward residents began in 2011. It’s held to provide a stage for artists active around Tama Ward and to boost local vitality and交流 through music. Participating artists cover a wide range of genres—jazz, brass band, dance, rock, pop—offering programs that people of all ages can enjoy. It’s a wonderful environment where local children can grow up familiar with music and have the chance to perform on stage. We hope you’ll join with your family!

This is a large-scale music event organized by GMO, an internet services company, and Creativeman, an event planning and production company. Embracing GMO’s catchphrase, “No.1 Service,” the event aims to become Japan’s No.1 music festival, with an appealing concept to match. The lineup features buzzworthy artists from a variety of genres, including dance music and rock—not only from Japan but also special guests from overseas. It promises to be a special experience that makes you feel as if you’re at an international event while staying in Japan.

This is a circuit event organized by Shikachan, an event promoter active in Fukushima Prefecture. Shikachan is reportedly a staff member of TONEFOLK, a music information site based in the Tohoku region. Although it’s a small-scale circuit event held across two venues, the lineup mainly features up-and-coming bands on the verge of breaking through, making it an event you won’t want to miss.

A festival hosted by the three-piece melodic punk band SECRET 7 LINE will be held. In 2016, there was a great sorrow for them and for us fans, but seeing them overcome it and continue to perform is truly moving. Live-show kids, be sure to check it out.
