List of Local Festivals Nationwide [2025–2026]

This is an audition-style event for amateur bands that started in 2010 in Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture. Anyone engaged in musical activities, from young people to seniors, can participate as long as they are amateur citizens. Several screening stages are held before performing on stage, including audio and performance reviews, and the 10 bands that make it through compete live on the day for the Kameyama Music Jamboree Award. Come enjoy the energetic, high-level music of these bands live at the venue.

Entertainment might be transformed by the power of young people. Organized by Y-PU ENTERTAINMENT, this is a new kind of festival planned and run mainly by university students. HANGEKI FES is being held with the desire to revitalize entertainment through our own efforts, at a time when everyday life can no longer be enjoyed as before due to the spread of COVID-19. Keep an eye on the lineup, featuring artists selected through auditions and picks curated by trend-savvy young generations. It’s a wonderful event where simply taking part lets you support entertainment in many different ways.
