What this music festival lacks in terms of a picturesque setting, it more than makes up for in convenience. While other festivals boast views of rolling hills or stunning lakes, Summer Sonic has easy access from the city, an abundance of clean toilets and a cracking lineup – sometimes that’s all you need.
This year's Summer Sonic is returning with an impressive lineup of international and local artists on the weekend of August 14, 15 and 16. The Strokes and L'Arc-en-Ciel will headline in Tokyo, with performances also confirmed from UK funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai, lead Blackpink vocalist and rapper Jennie, Asian American hip-hop lofi singer Keshi, Japanese alternative rock band Sakanaction, Hitsujibungaku, Good Neighbours and more.
General ticket sales are set to start on May 30 (¥21,000 per person for a one-day pass), with advance three-day ticket sales (with benefits) set to begin earlier on February 10.
