Alley 108

Alley 108 is a three-day immersive rave and art project taking over the backstreets of Shibuya Center Gai as part of Dig Shibuya 2026. What happens if you treat Shibuya like a set, and write a future for it? One where redevelopment keeps swallowing the city until there’s just a single ‘empty block’ left. They’re building that block in real life, closing off an alley infamous among former FamilyMart partiers and turning it into a contained little dystopian world.

In this world there are ‘residents’ roaming around in looks created by local up-and-coming designers, pulling you into a betsu-sekai narrative. The line-up is huge, pulling in underground artists, collectives, DJs and live acts across scenes, plus exhibitions and a winter market that’s connected to the current culture and not just a merch table. The name 108 nods to the 108 earthly desires, the messy human impulses that places like Shibuya are built on in the first place, and that’s the point of the whole thing.
Shibuya keeps changing, but the urge that makes people gather, flex, drift, chase sound and get lost in a crowd doesn’t disappear. Alley 108 is trying to capture that feeling and push it forward, like a street from the future that still has dirt under its nails.

Tickets are now on sale, and the pricing is pretty friendly for something this stacked: ¥7,000 gets you a 3-day pass (with a zine and keychain), or you can dip in for Sunday-only from ¥500–¥3,000 depending on your age and time slot. The event runs Feb 13–15, stretching late on Friday and Saturday, then closing earlier on Sunday – so you can treat it like a full weekend world-build, or just drop in for a few hours.

After 10pm the event will become limited to over 20s only, and they’re checking photo ID. Also worth knowing: it’s cashless inside and no outside food/drinks, so come ready to tap your card/IC/QR.
