November Music Festivals [2025–2026]: A roundup of autumn festivals, outdoor rock fests, and other music events

A circuit event hosted by Shimokitazawa MOSAiC, SHIMOKITAZAWA KNOCKOUT FES. Artists expected to be the next breakout acts come together for simultaneous live performances. The venues are seven live houses and live bars around Shimokitazawa. Enjoy a full day of the event while soaking in Shimokitazawa’s stylish atmosphere.

This event is held at the expansive Akigase Park in Saitama City. It’s an event brimming with the organizers’ desire to create a space where people can come together not only for music, but also to share heartfelt food, art, and more, and deepen their connections.

This music festival, held in Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture—also known as a city of music—is a popular event drawing attention for featuring today’s hottest artists. It also hosts a newcomer discovery audition designed to support local performers, and the stage by the Grand Prix winner is a highlight. After the event, we recommend enjoying local gourmet specialties like Atsugi’s famous “Shirokoro” horumon (grilled pork offal). Since the lineup’s genres change every year, it’s an event that will make you want to come back again next time.

This is a city jazz event that makes the most of Yokosuka’s character as an international city—home to a naval port, surrounded by the sea, and with many foreign residents. With the aim of bringing everyone together in a friendly atmosphere while listening to music, it’s a music festival where participants can get excited as one through music, the common language that transcends borders.
