Kanto Winter Festival Information [2026]: Must-See Events for Music Lovers

Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

The season for winter festivals—the musical celebration that colors Kanto’s winter—has arrived.

With fiery performances that blow away the cold and a dreamlike atmosphere you can experience only in winter, it captivates the hearts of music fans.

Feel the immersive sound unique to indoor venues and the sense of openness offered by outdoor stages, even in winter.

Why not make this winter unforgettable with a supreme musical experience woven by a diverse lineup of artists?
