List of domestic circuit events [2025–2026]: City festivals

The Izumi no Kuni Jazz Street held in Izumi, Osaka. As the title “Jazz Street” suggests, various artists perform live at venues such as shops around town. Street performances are free to attend, so why not drop by and enjoy them?

Now that diversity of values has become the norm, following the boom of large-scale music festivals, the new focus is on “live circuits,” in which multiple live music venues are rented out and concerts are held simultaneously across them. In this context, three of the nation’s premier circuit festivals—Osaka’s Mihoudai, Nagoya’s Dera Rock, and Fukuoka’s TENJIN ONTAQ—are joining forces in Tokyo to stage one of Japan’s largest live circuits.

Vijuttoke!! Festtoke!! is a circuit event set in Shinsakae, Nagoya, hosted for the first time by Vijuttoke—the Tokai region’s first free newspaper dedicated to visual kei. Since it’s an event presented by a magazine specializing in visual kei, you can expect to enjoy some pretty hardcore, authentic visual kei bands.

An outdoor music festival held across multiple venues centered around Obiyamachi, the heart of Kochi City’s downtown. Under the concept of “Turning the city into a stage,” artists from a wide range of genres gather to energize the central area of the city, with a focus on Kochi’s downtown.
