FREEDOM NAGOYA 2026 has announced its second wave of artists for the free rock festival taking place May 16-17, 2026.

The lineup addition includes seven acts: rock band ENTH, alternative group Young Skinny (ダングスキニー), and popular comedy trio Yonsenhashira (四千頭身), among others. The festival will be held at a special outdoor stage at Nagoya Odaka Ryokuchi park in Aichi Prefecture.

FREEDOM NAGOYA stands out as a rare completely free admission rock festival, making live music accessible to fans regardless of budget. The event combines music performances with comedy acts, creating a diverse entertainment experience typical of Japanese festivals.

ENTH has been building momentum in Japan's rock scene with their energetic performances, while Young Skinny brings their indie rock sound to the mix. Yonsenhashira, though primarily known for comedy, often incorporates musical elements into their performances, making them a natural fit for the festival's eclectic lineup.

The outdoor setting at Nagoya Odaka Ryokuchi provides a spacious venue for the two-day event. Located in central Japan, Nagoya serves as an important stop for touring acts and festivals, offering good access for fans from across the region.

With the first wave of artists already generating buzz, this second announcement builds anticipation for what promises to be a significant celebration of Japanese rock and entertainment culture. More artist announcements are expected as the festival date approaches.
