List of indie festivals nationwide [2025–2026]

Muni Fest is a free outdoor rock event held under the slogan “Street performances for rock bands too!” Its appeal lies in the chance to casually enjoy high-quality indie rock bands that you rarely get to see outside of live houses. Be the first to witness the dawn of Japan’s music scene with your own eyes.

Yatsui Ichirō of the comedy duo Eleki Comic is also known for his work as a rock DJ, actively engaging in the music industry by releasing compilation albums and more. This is an event he hosts. Rather than being a club music event, it’s a crossover-style event that incorporates a wide range of music.

This is an outdoor festival hosted by the four-piece melodic band, 04 Limited Sazabys. The venue, Moricoro Park, features a grassy lawn and offers a very pleasant atmosphere. As one of the first spring festivals, be sure to go check out YON FES!

RAD JAM is one of the largest idol festivals in the Tokai region. To further energize the idol culture that’s drawing attention from around the world and to give people more chances to discover new music, the event is remarkably free to attend. You’ll be amazed that such a lineup and programming are offered at no cost, and with thorough infection-control measures in place, you can enjoy it with peace of mind. It’s an event that creates new encounters from the stage—for both idols and attendees alike.
