Overview

WORLD HAPPINESS 2026 ～ I’m HOME ～ marks the return of one of Japan’s most influential curator-led music festivals, held at the prestigious Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium in Tokyo. Originally conceived as a celebration of avant-garde pop, electronic, and alternative music, the 2026 edition continues this legacy by gathering a legendary roster of artists who have shaped the Japanese musical landscape. From the electronic mastery of Cornelius and TOWA TEI to the foundational sounds of Haruomi Hosono and Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, this event is a definitive showcase of creative excellence.

The theme “I’m HOME” resonates through a lineup that bridges the gap between mid-century musical roots and futuristic experimentation, featuring international guests like Ginger Root alongside hip-hop pioneers Scha Dara Parr. Set in the iconic architecture of Yoyogi, the festival offers an immersive indoor experience that combines high-fidelity sound with a sophisticated, art-driven atmosphere. This one-day gathering is not merely a concert, but a cultural reunion for music enthusiasts who value the intersection of pop, rock, and electronic innovation in the heart of the capital.

Faqs

What is the policy for bringing young children to the festival?

Tickets are required for all children aged 4 and over. Children under 4 years old can enter for free as long as they sit on a guardian’s lap, but if they require their own seat, a ticket must be purchased.

Will the lineup change, and can I get a refund if an artist cancels?

The official policy states that performers may change due to various circumstances without prior notice. In such cases, refunds are not provided, as the ticket is for the overall event rather than a specific artist’s performance.

How should I travel to Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium?

There is no dedicated parking lot for the event, so guests are strongly encouraged to use public transportation. The venue is easily accessible via Harajuku Station or Meiji-jingumae Station, which are just a few minutes’ walk away.

Are there assigned seats for this event or is it standing room?

For WORLD HAPPINESS 2026, all tickets are for assigned seating, meaning you will have a specific chair reserved for the duration of the show. This allows for a more comfortable and organized viewing experience compared to standing-only festivals.

What happens if I cannot attend the event after purchasing my ticket?

Cancellations and refunds are generally not possible due to customer convenience once the purchase is finalized. If you find you cannot attend, please contact Jasumo to see if we can assist with official resale options provided by the organizers.
