This festival, launched in 2017 with the concept of “energizing Nagoya’s idol scene,” brings together many idols from across the country and has grown stronger and more content-rich each year.

It’s a camping festival held at the foot of Mount Fuji that started in 2019. Not only can you enjoy wonderful music, but there are also films and various workshops. Watching movies under the starry sky, surrounded by great nature, is sure to be amazing!

A festival with the concept “Dance JAZZY, not JAZZ.” It stylishly showcases the next-generation JAZZY sound. Drawing on elements from the many genres the 2000s generation has listened to—jazz, rock, hip-hop, reggae, house, electronica, and more—it centers its concept around the axis of “JAZZY.”

SAKAE SP-RING, known as Saka-Sup, is a large-scale circuit festival held every year mainly at live music venues in Nagoya. It has become a staple early-summer event in Nagoya. For bands active in the indie rock scene, it serves as a gateway-style circuit festival.

This is a new event held at Nukata Nature Field in Aichi Prefecture, where you can enjoy the theme of Music × Outdoors × Sauna × Coffee. One of the pleasures you can only experience while camping is sipping coffee outdoors as you gaze at the campfire; when the soothing sound of an acoustic guitar drifts from the stage, you’ll forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Sharpen your senses, immerse yourself in nature with your whole body, and spend time away from the digital world—it’s a truly special experience. For those who want to lose themselves in music without distractions, it’s the perfect setting.
