Hip-hop duo Koshy & Sonsi join POP YOURS 2026 festival lineup

Koshy & Sonsi have been added to the opening day lineup of POP YOURS 2026, the hip-hop festival taking place April 3-5 at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Halls 1-6 in Chiba.

The duo will perform on April 3, the festival's first day. POP YOURS has established itself as one of Japan's premier hip-hop events, bringing together both established and emerging artists from the domestic scene.

Koshy & Sonsi represent part of Japan's growing hip-hop landscape, which has seen increasing international recognition in recent years. The pair joins what promises to be an extensive lineup for the three-day festival.

Makuhari Messe, located in the Tokyo Bay area, regularly hosts major music festivals and conventions. The venue's six exhibition halls provide ample space for the festival's expected crowds.

POP YOURS 2026 continues the festival's tradition of highlighting Japanese hip-hop talent alongside international acts. The event spans three full days, giving fans multiple opportunities to experience the diverse sounds of contemporary hip-hop culture.

More lineup announcements are expected as the April dates approach. Ticket information and additional performer details will likely be released in the coming weeks as organizers finalize the complete festival roster.
