Hinatazaka46 has announced they'll bring back their beloved "Hinata Fes" outdoor festival on September 5-6, 2026, at Hinata Sun Marine Stadium in Miyazaki Prefecture.

The two-day event marks another chapter in the group's special relationship with Miyazaki, known as "Japan's Hinata" (sunny place). The connection runs deeper than just the shared name - Miyazaki's warm, sunny climate and welcoming atmosphere align perfectly with Hinatazaka46's bright, uplifting image.

Hinatazaka46, originally formed as Hiragana Keyakizaka46 before rebranding in 2019, has built their identity around bringing sunshine and positivity to fans. Their previous Hinata Fes events have become highly anticipated gatherings that combine the group's infectious energy with the natural beauty of Miyazaki's coastal setting.

The Hinata Sun Marine Stadium, primarily used for baseball, transforms into an outdoor concert venue for these special occasions. The stadium's open-air design and scenic location make it an ideal backdrop for the group's festival-style performances.

While specific details about performers, ticket sales, and setlists haven't been revealed yet, fans can expect the signature mix of Hinatazaka46's hit songs, special collaborations, and the warm community atmosphere that defines these Miyazaki gatherings.

The announcement gives fans plenty of time to plan their trip to southern Japan for what's sure to be another memorable celebration of J-Pop's most consistently cheerful group.
