Background & History

LOUD PARK 25, Japan’s premier heavy metal festival, returns on October 13, 2025, at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama City, following a limited revival in 2023. Established in 2006, this annual event (paused in 2018–2022) has been a cornerstone for metal fans, hosting global acts like Slayer, Megadeth, and Pantera. The 2025 edition, headlined by Australian metalcore giants Parkway Drive, features a stacked lineup including Bullet for My Valentine, Kerry King, The Haunted, The Ghost Inside, Heaven Shall Burn, Orbit Culture, Crystal Lake, Sable Hills, and ulma sound junction.

Visitors can explore nearby attractions like Omiya’s Railway Museum or Hikawa Shrine, blending intense music with Japan’s cultural offerings.

Disclaimer

Jasumo offers a facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, helping them access and apply for tickets to various events, including but not limited to sports, festivals, and cultural activities. We are not a reseller of tickets, nor do we sell tickets directly. Our role is to support international customers by guiding them through the official ticket booking process, ensuring they can secure their tickets through recognized platforms and authorized providers.

As a business based in Japan with a bilingual staff and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by non-Japanese visitors, we address common bottlenecks such as:

• Language Barriers: Navigating Japan’s primarily Japanese-language ticketing systems can be challenging for foreign tourists. Jasumo provides bilingual support to bridge this gap and ensure a smooth booking experience.
• Access to Japanese-Only Platforms: Many events in Japan require local knowledge to navigate and access, and often these platforms do not offer international payment options or are difficult to use for non-Japanese speakers. We facilitate the booking process by providing guidance and helping with international payment methods where applicable.
• Limited Availability & Complex Registration: Events in Japan often have limited capacity, and understanding the timing and process for securing tickets can be confusing for international visitors. Jasumo helps you manage deadlines and requirements, giving you the best chance of securing your entry.

Due to high demand (37,000 capacity, 5–10x oversubscription reported on X), tickets may sell out early. While we facilitate the registration process, availability cannot be guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels. We strongly recommend registering early to maximize your chances of attending.
