Summer Music Festivals Held in Eastern Japan [2025–2026]

Bugsami is a summer festival organized by the visual kei rock band BugLug, bringing together visual kei artists. It began in 2018, held its first outdoor edition in 2022, and has been steadily expanding in scale. The lineup, featuring acts connected to BugLug, draws attention every year. There are also attendee-exclusive programs that make it well worth the trip for visitors. With accommodation plans available, you can enjoy the event at a relaxed pace.

Launched to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the opening of Aomori Port, this music festival aims to blend history, culture, and music to showcase the region’s appeal nationwide. By setting the festival in the bay area, visitors can also experience history, tourism, and culture—such as the museum where you can feel the power of Nebuta floats and the Aomori Tourism and Products Center—making it a uniquely regional event where you can enjoy discovering new charms of Aomori through the festivities. After taking in the open seaside views and the music, why not set off on a trip to create some summer memories?
