SUMMER SONIC 2016 Performing Artists (21–30)
Little EaseMirror Trap
The Mirror Trap, touted as a rising newcomer from the UK.
Judging by their YouTube views, they’re still relatively low, so it feels like they’re just getting started.
Still, as you’d expect from a hyped new act, they’re undeniably cool and have a straightforward appeal.
Will this year’s Summer Sonic be the springboard that sends their popularity skyrocketing? Definitely one to watch.
Just Friends (Sunny)Musiq Soulchild
Musiq Soulchild, an R&B singer known as the prodigy of soul.
With a style that incorporates elements of soul and jazz into R&B, he’s also called a neo-soul singer.
His debut track, Just Friends, became a major hit.
KamikazeMØ
MØ is a singer-songwriter from Denmark.
Her bright singing voice is striking, and this song has a laid-back feel with a lovely, relaxing vibe.
Her other tracks vary—some are a bit more subdued—so this is a great chance to explore and listen to a variety of her songs.
Trip SwitchNothing But Thieves
Nothing But Thieves is a five-piece band from the UK, a fresh young group with an average age of 22.
Formed in 2011, they’ve been rapidly gaining popularity, even performing at the Reading & Leeds Festival last year.
Following last year, this will be their second appearance at Summer Sonic, and once again, you won’t be able to take your eyes off them.
Speak UpPOP ETC
POP ETC is a three-piece group from the United States, and since they came to Japan last year as the opening act for Galileo Galilei’s tour, some of you may have actually seen them live.
With their tasteful songs, they’re sure to captivate us once again.
Joy To The WorldPentatonix
The five-member co-ed a cappella group Pentatonix will be performing.
Headlining the pop music festival POPSPRING, their appeal lies in the brilliance of their songs and techniques so refined you can hardly believe it’s a cappella.
Their performances are so captivating you can’t help but listen—truly breathtaking.
My HousePVRIS
Pvris, a rock band with a female vocalist.
With their addictive sound and powerful vocals, they’ve been dubbed “Skrillex meets Paramore.” They made their first visit to Japan this January and February as tour guests for ONE OK ROCK.
