Summer Music Festival Schedule Summary [2025–2026]

CAMPASS is apparently a coined word that combines CAMP and COMPASS, and the event is held with the hope of creating a fun and wonderful day through rich nature and music. As a new DIY festival originating from the countryside, CAMPASS is an event to look forward to.

Gosetsu JAM was launched in Tokamachi, Niigata—the event venue—after organizers asked, “What can we do to draw people here?” and decided on a music festival. There probably aren’t any other outdoor festivals held in such a heavy-snow area, are there? With humorous rules like “Moshing and stage diving prohibited; oshikura manju (friendly shoving) allowed,” it sounds like a really fun event.

This festival, launched in 2017 with the concept of “energizing Nagoya’s idol scene,” brings together many idols from across the country and has grown stronger and more content-rich each year. It takes place at several venues, such as live houses in central Nagoya, and some areas can even be enjoyed for free!

It’s a camping festival held at the foot of Mount Fuji that started in 2019. Not only can you enjoy wonderful music, but there are also films and various workshops. Watching movies under the starry sky, surrounded by great nature, is sure to be amazing!
