Nagano Music Festivals [2025–2026]: Outdoor Festivals and Events Summary

Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefKeisuke Hane
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

We’ve put together a roundup of music festivals in Nagano Prefecture, including summer festivals, rock festivals, and outdoor festivals.

We look forward to welcoming you again this year at exciting events like TAICOCLUB, rural, and the Ringo Music Festival!

It was started by an organizer who has lived in Matsumoto for many years and wanted to make the city he loves even better through music. Matsumoto hosts events like the classical Saito Kinen Festival and the summer festival Matsumoto Bonbon, but because there weren’t any events centered on youth-oriented popular music, the Ringo Music Festival focuses on popular music—including J-pop, as well as rock and hip-hop.

Schedule	Saturday, September 27, 2025 – Sunday, September 28, 2025
place	Alps Park, Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture
