Come join the event with friends and family.

An indoor summer festival presented by the radio station J-WAVE. This event has been held as J-WAVE LIVE, but since 2022 it has been revamped and powered up into a large annual festival where you can enjoy music, food, and a market all at once. There are reserved seats available, so you can sit back and fully enjoy the live performances. Plus, because it’s hosted by a radio station, one of the highlights is the exciting lineup featuring a steady stream of popular, star-studded artists.
