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 16 and 17. Fall Out Boy and Official Hige Dandism will headline in Tokyo, with performances also confirmed from American singer-songwriter Camila Cabello, K-pop girl group Aespa, Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin, American DJ and record producer Porter Robinson, Babymetal and more.
As of mid-July, two-day have sold out but one-day passes (¥20,000 per person) are still available online.
