Overview

SUMMER SONIC 2026 returns as Japan’s premier urban music festival, simultaneously taking over the Kanto and Kansai regions for a massive three-day celebration. In Tokyo, the event unfolds across the expansive ZOZO Marine Stadium and Makuhari Messe, while Osaka fans gather at the scenic Expo Commemoration Park. This iconic festival is famous for its diverse, star-studded lineups that bridge the gap between global rock legends, pop superstars, and the brightest emerging talents from the J-POP and K-POP scenes.

The 2026 edition continues the tradition of the “rain or shine” spectacular, offering multiple stages with distinct atmospheres, from high-energy stadium sets to immersive indoor club vibes. Beyond the music, attendees can enjoy a wide array of gourmet food stalls, art installations, and exclusive festival merchandise. Whether you are opting for a single-day experience or the full three-day journey, SUMMER SONIC provides an unparalleled look into the cutting edge of the global music industry right in the heart of Japan.
