Kanto’s Popular Music Festivals [2025–2026]: A Complete Seasonal Guide to Outdoor Events (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)

An all-night rock festival held in June for those who can’t wait until summer! It’s a promising event curated by Jun Miura, a music TV producer and avid festival-goer, who has gathered artists he personally wants to see.

The outdoor festival Japan proudly presents to the world, THE LABYRINTH. It’s an event where sharp-minded artists active in the electronic music scene—techno, electro, and beyond—from both Japan and abroad gather in Naeba, Niigata. Fans flock from all over Japan—and indeed, from around the world—and dance from morning till night over several days. When night falls, psychedelic lighting gently illuminates Naeba’s forests, offering a feast not just for the ears but for the eyes as well. Beyond the stellar lineup, the festival’s excellent food—an essential part of any fest—is likely one reason tickets sell out instantly.

Did you know there’s a vast green open field in Tokyo? It was used as a venue for the Tokyo Olympics, and its area is said to be roughly the size of 10 Tokyo Domes. It hosts Tokyo’s largest outdoor festival, packed with things to enjoy—music, camping, gourmet food, fireworks, and Tokyo’s night skyline. As a camp-in festival, you can even bring your pets and spend time together, and if you choose a campsite in the music area, you can enjoy the stage right from your own tent. It’s the kind of event you’ll want to join every year as a summer festival to make family memories.
