List of Rock Festivals in the Kanto Region [2026]

DEAD POP FESTiVAL, which has been held since 2010 under the slogan “Break the Wall,” has firmly established itself as an outdoor event and joined the ranks of summer open-air festivals. The festival is hosted by the hugely popular reggae-punk band SiM. Because SiM is always taking on new challenges, the event has featured initiatives unlike anything seen before. This year as well, their fresh ideas will no doubt make it an incredibly fun experience.

A rock festival exclusively for female artists, planned by Keiko Terada of the rock band SHOW-YA. It’s a special event featuring many legendary artists who have had a major impact on the Japanese music scene. It’s a rare chance to see performers form special units with one another and witness lavish, once-in-a-lifetime collaborations. Experience the powerful, high-energy stage firsthand—packed with breathtaking vocals, searing guitar work, and performances so intense they’ll leave you in awe.

“Green Room” is a surfing term referring to the hollow, tube-like part of a wave that surfers ride through. This event, named after that term, is held under the concept of “protecting our vanishing beaches.” Through music and art, it aims to share surf and marine culture and express a desire to protect the beach. It also sounds great to relax and enjoy music at a seaside venue.
