List of Rock Festivals Nationwide [2026]

REQUESTAGE is a listener-participation special live event launched by FM802 in 2002. The concept is to invite artists who receive many requests on the program to perform on stage, and to decide the songs people want to hear live through listener voting. It has been cherished as an event that reflects the Kansai music scene. The venue is always Osaka-jō Hall, and it has become a staple spring event drawing audiences of around 10,000. In April 2026, it will be held with special sponsorship from Kiyo Bank.

NAON no BUNTAI is a women-only music festival hosted by the rock band SHOW-YA. Carrying on the legacy of NAON no YAON, which has been held at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall since 2013, it showcases distinctive stages that transcend generations and genres. In 2026, the venue moves to the newly renovated Yokohama BUNTAI, opening with indoor acoustics and production. The late-April holiday will be electrified with the heat of women’s rock.

This is a spring global music event from Osaka launched by FM802 in 2025. With the aim of showcasing Japan’s proud live acts to the world, a diverse lineup of artists spanning genres and generations will come together. The venue is Osaka’s landmark, Osaka-jō Hall, for a night where rock, hip-hop, and pop intersect. AI, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, and amazarashi are among the acts, and the second edition will be held in April 2026.
