Music festival held during the summer vacation [2025–2026]

One of the largest joint university events in the Kansai region, bringing together light music clubs from across Kansai! It’s an incredibly exciting festival featuring not only original and cover bands, but also bands from the same generation and hot, fast-rising artists invited as special guests!

Sukiyaki Meets the World is an event that has been held since 1991 and is Japan’s largest world music festival. In addition to enjoying world music performed by professional musicians, there are a variety of workshops, making it a citizen-participation event. It’s a great opportunity to fully enjoy world music that you might not usually encounter.

Our concept is to explore what truly matters today through the wisdom and skills for living in harmony with nature, and the culture and performing arts that arise from them. The festival functions as a new community rooted in the local area. It is a new Earth Celebration where people of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and nationalities meet and connect. Of course, Kodo is also a member of this community, taking part in more varied ways than ever—through Kodo Village concerts, EC Theater, fringe events, workshops, and Sado experience programs.

WILD BUNCH FEST., which began in 2013 as the successor to SET STOCK, a music festival held in Hiroshima for ten years starting in 1999.

One particularly impressive feature of WILD BUNCH is the small floating stage on the sea, located in a cove-like area of the venue, called “On the Sea,” which is used only for the closing act. Since it’s the closing act, the surroundings are completely dark by then, and the live performance on the small stage floating on the water is a must-see. Also, last year a campsite was set up inside the venue, allowing attendees to stay overnight from day one to day two, so that’s another highlight to watch for.
