Overview

Hangeki Festival 2026 is a high-energy celebration of Japan’s modern rock and indie scene, taking place at the premier Namba Hatch venue in Osaka. Organized by Y-PU ENTERTAINMENT and planned primarily by university students, this festival was born from a desire to revitalize the entertainment industry and support the next generation of musical talent. The event features a curated selection of artists, including both established rock veterans and rising stars chosen through auditions, providing a fresh perspective on the current Japanese music landscape.
