Rock Festival Calendar for November [2025–2026]

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.

Borofesta is held at Kyoto KBS Hall, where the stained glass behind the stage is strikingly impressive, and at the live music venue METRO. It is created solely by an executive committee made up of people working in music—such as live house staff and band members—and a large number of volunteer staff.

Because it's a festival, it offers plenty of unique perspectives and enjoyment you won't find at other events, don't you think?

This is a circuit-style festival held at live music venues in Kobe, hosted by Arukara, a four-piece rock band from Kobe. Around 60 artists are scheduled to perform each year. You won’t want to take your eyes off Neko Fes, which has finally established itself as a staple circuit festival in the Kansai region.

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.
