List of Rock Festivals in the Kanto Region [2025–2026]

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.

A circuit-style music event held across four live venues: Shimokitazawa GARDEN, Shimokitazawa Daisy Bar, Shimokitazawa SHELTER, and Shimokitazawa CLUB Que. As it’s an event hosted by up-and-coming bands popular with young people, it may well become an event that represents the future of the rock scene.

An event hosted by Buzz Rhythm, the music program broadcast on Nippon TV, will be held at Yokohama Arena. Buzz Rhythm is a popular show featuring well-known bands and artists from the current Japanese rock scene. With a lineup full of fan favorites, this event is highly recommended for lovers of Japanese rock.

This is a spin-off event of SATANIC CARNIVAL, hosted by PIZZA OF DEATH led by Ken Yokoyama, the guitarist of the legendary three-piece punk band Hi-STANDARD. With talented young bands and up-and-coming artists set to perform, the energy at the venue is expected to rival that of SATANIC CARNIVAL. It’s highly recommended for anyone who wants to get lost in music while cheering on the future of bands poised to break out from here!
