Overview

The Rising Sun Rock Festival 2026 in EZO stands as one of Japan’s most iconic outdoor music events, held annually against the stunning backdrop of Ishikari, Hokkaido. Since its inception in 1999, this festival has become famous for its unique all-night format, culminating in a spectacular sunrise performance that marks the end of the two-day celebration. The sprawling venue at Tarukawa Wharf transforms into a vibrant pop-up town, where music lovers gather to enjoy a diverse lineup of rock, indie, and alternative artists from both Japan and abroad.

Attendees can choose between various camping zones, each offering a different way to experience the festival’s “rain or shine” spirit. From local food stalls serving fresh regional delicacies to multiple stages scattered across the massive site, the Rising Sun Rock Festival offers more than just a concert; it is a full-sensory retreat that celebrates the harmony between music and nature.
