Kansai Music Festivals [2025–2026]: Special Feature on Must-See Outdoor Fests & Events

Rockin’ Radio!, an FM802 event, is held every spring at Osaka Castle Outdoor Music Hall. It’s organized as a “Kansai-born omnibus rock event” that brings together the hottest rock bands of the moment. It’s a recommended event where you can enjoy live performances at a relatively affordable price.

This is a music event held at Murou Sanjo Art Forest Park, where monuments by Dani Karavan blend with nature, located in Murou on the border between Nara and Mie. How about fully enjoying music amid the rich natural surroundings of Murou? In addition, an after-camp party will be held on the night of the event at the Uda City Murou Auto Campground.

The Osaka Big Band Jazz Festival was launched to energize Japan starting from Osaka by boosting the entertainment scene. There are various theories, but Osaka is said to be the birthplace of jazz in Japan, and many jazz musicians and bands from here have gone on to perform around the world. With high-caliber performers, the lineup offers not only orchestral performances and vocals but also engaging talk segments, making it well worth the trip to Osaka for a memorable time!
