Rock Festival Calendar for October [2025–2026]

Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefKeisuke Hane
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

We’ve gathered festivals taking place in October that feature rock bands.

Autumn festivals are just as exciting as summer ones, with plenty of high-energy events.

The heat may be easing with the season, but the excitement at these events is far from cooling down.

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!
