Rock in Japan Festival has announced its complete timetable for 2026, showcasing a diverse roster of Japanese artists performing across September 12-21 at Chiba's Soga Sports Park.

The festival's headliners include some of the country's biggest names. Singer-songwriter Ado will close out the festival's final day (September 21) on the LOTUS STAGE, joined by Sakurazaka46, INI, and 10-FEET. Vaundy takes the LOTUS STAGE on September 12, while BUMP OF CHICKEN headlines September 13. Other major acts rounding out the final slots include Oji-Shio (September 19), Aimiyon (September 20), and WANIMA on the GRASS STAGE for the closing date.

The festival operates across multiple stages—LOTUS STAGE, GRASS STAGE, HILLSIDE STAGE, and PARK STAGE—allowing simultaneous performances throughout each day. This year's lineup spans a wide range of genres, from rock and pop to hip-hop and experimental acts like Polkadot Stingray, Creepy Nuts, and syudou.

Notable performers across the five days include XG, NiziU, Momokuro Club Z, and Maximum the Hormone, with DJ Wa providing entertainment across multiple stages. The festival has moved to September (previously held in August) and relocated to Soga Sports Park since 2022.

Ticket sales remain active through the official "J-Fes" app, with third-round lottery pre-orders available until June 23 at 4 PM for September 13 and 21. Several dates have already sold out—September 12, 19, and 20 tickets are no longer available through standard channels.

Rock in Japan Festival remains one of Japan's premier music events, drawing massive crowds for its multi-day celebration of domestic artists. This year's expanded lineup reflects the festival's commitment to showcasing both established acts and emerging talent across the Japanese music scene.
