Eastern Japan Rock Festival Information List [2025–2026]

MiMiNOKO ROCK FES JAPAN is a circuit event that takes place across multiple live venues in Kichijoji. The lineup focuses on next-break artists whose popularity is on the verge of exploding. It’s a can’t-miss event for anyone tuned into Japan’s indie and rock scenes!

This event is hosted by PIZZA OF DEATH, led by Ken Yokoyama, guitarist of the legendary three-piece punk band Hi-STANDARD. There’s no doubt it’ll feature a scorching lineup again this year. A must-check event for live music fans.

A pre-event for the Fuji Rock Festival will be held in Tokyo. It’s the perfect opportunity to get a feel for Fuji Rock in advance and do a little prep. You can experience on-site-style activities like workshops, enjoy delicious food, and on stage, a carefully selected lineup of artists with ties to the festival will energize the venue with live performances that capture the day’s atmosphere. It’s especially recommended for those who’ve never been to Fuji Rock!

Named after the phrase “Kaga Hyakumangoku,” Million Rock lives up to its name as the largest rock festival in the Hokuriku region. With a solid, festival-worthy lineup, it brings excitement every year. Its major appeal is the large roster of stellar artists.

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.

The 1000-Person ROCK FES held in Gunma Prefecture is a participatory rock festival! It’s an event where they recruit people to perform together on the day and have a session with 1,000 participants. The sense of freedom of playing outdoors with such a large group must be truly special. It’s the kind of fun event that seems obvious but is surprisingly rare! Each year, set pieces are announced, and anyone who applies can join the performance, so if you’ve ever wanted to play music with a big crowd, be sure to sign up!
