Autumn Music Festivals in Eastern Japan [2025–2026]

The music program The Covers, broadcast monthly on BS Premium, offers a unique twist: the guest artists perform cover versions of classic songs that are familiar to them. The event The Covers’ Fes is organized by that program. It will feature collaborative performances between artists that you won’t see at other festivals. The event’s highlights will be aired on BS Premium at a later date.

Gojappe Music Festival is a circuit event held in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture. “Gojappe” is a dialect term from the northern Kanto region that roughly means “careless” or “slapdash,” and the idea is that on this day, people forget their everyday burdens and let themselves be gojappe to have fun. The venues are bars, cafes, and similar spots.
