List of Rock Festivals Nationwide [2026]

I think many people have become more cautious about going to live shows since the COVID-19 outbreak. This camp-in festival, organized by WiRELESS, a live event promoter, was planned with the hope of creating moments that let people enjoy themselves as much as they did before—if not more. There are rental plans and bus tours from Tokyo to the venue, so even those without equipment or a car can join easily, making it accessible for first-timers. Why not take this opportunity to relax and enjoy music with your family and friends?

The music program The Covers, broadcast monthly on BS Premium, offers a unique twist: the guest artists perform cover versions of classic songs that are familiar to them. The event The Covers’ Fes is organized by that program. It will feature collaborative performances between artists that you won’t see at other festivals. The event’s highlights will be aired on BS Premium at a later date.

Kishidan Expo, organized by the rock band Kishidan, was first held as an outdoor festival in 2012. Set at Sodegaura Seaside Park in Chiba Prefecture, it grew into a major rock festival that drew 60,000 attendees in 2014. As the title suggests, the event is hosted by the rock band Kishidan, and its appeal lies in a remarkably diverse lineup—from rock bands and singer-songwriters to idol groups—allowing audiences to enjoy many popular acts all at once.
