Overview
BLARE FEST. 2026, the highly anticipated third edition of the legendary rock festival organized by Japanese rock band coldrain, returns after a three-year hiatus on February 7–8, 2026, at Port Messe Nagoya in Aichi, Japan. This explosive two-day event features coldrain as headliners alongside other acts (full lineup TBA), delivering ~8-hour daily performances of high-octane rock, metalcore, and alternative music. Known for its intense energy and diverse roster, the festival has been praised on X for its “wall-shattering sound” and “unmatched vibe,” building on the success of sold-out editions in 2020 and 2023 that drew international acts like ONE OK ROCK and HOOBASTANK. Held at the expansive Port Messe Nagoya (~20,000 capacity per day), BLARE FEST. 2026 promises to be a landmark event in Japan’s loud rock scene.

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 for BLARE FEST. 2026, with critically low availability (e.g., 4 tickets for 2-day passes), availability is not guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels or in case of cancellation. We strongly recommend purchasing tickets by August 15, 2025, at official prices (~¥12,000–¥24,000) or monitoring official resale (~5 days prior to each show) to avoid inflated reseller prices (e.g., ¥28,000 for 2-day pass).
