List of Rock Festivals Nationwide [2026]

Hoshioto is held in Okayama Prefecture. Taking place in the nature-rich city of Ibara, Okayama, as the event title suggests, once night falls you can enjoy a collaboration of beautiful starry skies and music. At hoshioto in 2016, it’s said that a very beautiful starry sky was visible during Sawagi’s headlining set. We’re praying for good weather again this year!

WILD BUNCH FEST. began in 2013 as the successor to SET STOCK, a music festival held in Hiroshima for ten years starting in 1999. One especially striking feature of WILD BUNCH is the small stage called “On the Sea,” which floats on the water in a small cove-like area within the venue and is used only for the closing act. Since it’s the closing act, the surroundings are fully dark by then, making the live performance on the tiny stage floating on the sea a must-see. Also, last year a campsite was set up inside the venue, allowing attendees to stay overnight from day one to day two, which is another highlight.

This is a music event planned and run by local band members to energize Kagawa Prefecture. Since its start in 2018, it has been held with support from local music lovers, using venues like live houses, shopping arcades, and even rented udon shops. As a free-admission event, it has continued to grow in popularity and attendance. There are also exclusive items available only through crowdfunding, so why not take part and help boost Kagawa’s music scene?

This is the spring event of the Kochi Machi La La La Music Festival, held in the heart of Kochi City. As the season begins to feel like spring, the festival offers outdoor live performances that turn the city into a stage, creating a warm atmosphere that brings performers and audience closer together. It’s beloved by both residents and participating artists. Anyone who loves music can enjoy this event as the city and audience come together as one, making it highly recommended for those who want to start making music, those thinking about taking it up again, or anyone interested in participating in various ways.

TRINGLE, held within Fukuoka’s Seaside Momochi Beach Park. It’s incredibly appealing that so many popular bands from the loud and melodic hardcore scenes are gathering, and a two-day pass is available at this price. It’s a highly recommended festival for live music kids around Kyushu! A rock fest on the beach at summer’s end—the sunset scenery will surely strike a chord in your heart, don’t you think?
