Among the newly announced artists are Atarashii Gakko no Leaders (新しい学校のリーダーズ), the four-member dance-pop group known for their school uniform aesthetic and energetic performances that have gained international attention. Also joining the lineup is Zainichi Funk, the Osaka-based band that blends traditional Japanese elements with funk and rock sounds.

The festival will also feature Super Climbing Club (スーパー登山部), the indie rock band whose mountain-climbing themed performances have made them festival favorites across Japan. Veteran punk rockers Dohatsuten (怒髪天) round out the notable additions, bringing their three-decade career of high-energy rock to the outdoor stage.
