This is also a British band, and their style has a curious charm: it feels fresh and new, yet somehow carries a nostalgic, old-school vibe.
They came to Japan last year as the supporting act for the UK rock band Peace’s Japan tour, which created quite a buzz, and once again, their live shows are not to be missed.
Tears Don’t FallBullet For My Valentine
Bullet For My Valentine is a metal band from Wales.
They began their activities in 1998 and made their first visit to Japan at Summer Sonic in 2005.
Bullet For My Valentine, who have strong ties to Summer Sonic, are set to perform at the festival for the third time.

Marvin Gaye ft. Meghan TrainorCharlie Puth
Charlie Puth is an American singer-songwriter who delivers classic, straight-down-the-middle great songs.

I can’t wait to hear him live.

We’re Digitalism, an electro duo from Germany.
Since our debut, we’ve been leading the club scene.
Our track Pogo became hugely popular in 2007, with DJs around the world playing it in clubs.
Our music incorporates rock elements, earning support from rock fans as well.
Ex’s & Oh’sElle King
This artist with a wonderfully raspy, captivating singing voice is Elle King.
She’s a multitalented performer who has appeared in films as an actress as well as a singer.
Her overflowing self-confidence comes through in the lyrics of this song, which portray how she enchants men.
Big Girls Don’t CryFergie
Fergie, who made her name as a member of the American hip-hop group the Black Eyed Peas, is now active as a solo artist as well.
While she has many cool R&B and hip-hop tracks, this one is a gentle song with an acoustic feel.
It’ll be exciting to see if this year’s Summer Sonic brings a relaxing moment with this song.
