F.A.D YOKOHAMA, the iconic live venue tucked near Yokohama's Chinatown, is turning 30 this year—and the venue is throwing a celebration that'll keep fans busy all month long.

Starting June 1st, the venue kicks off its anniversary festival with an impressive lineup of Japanese rock and indie acts. The month opens with Ginkgo BOYZ performing their 2026 tour, followed by daily shows mixing two-man bills and solo performances from established acts and up-and-coming bands.

The schedule reads like a who's who of the Japanese underground scene. You'll find established names like 9mm Parabellum Bullet, My Hair is Bad, Hump Back, and Yonige sharing bills with newer artists and mid-tier favorites. There's also a special double-anniversary show celebrating both F.A.D's 30 years and TRUST RECORDS' 20th anniversary.

What makes this particularly interesting is the venue's approach to the celebration. Rather than a single mega-event, F.A.D is spreading the love across the entire month with consistent programming. Each night typically features either collaborations between complementary acts or solo performances from bands with dedicated followings. This approach keeps the energy fresh and gives different segments of Yokohama's music community reasons to visit throughout June.

The festival doesn't end there either—F.A.D plans to continue anniversary events through December, so this is just the beginning of a year-long tribute to the venue's impact on Yokohama's live music scene.

For fans of Japanese rock and indie music, this is worth checking out. The venue has clearly maintained strong relationships with both legendary acts and emerging talent, and that trust translates into a thoughtfully curated month of shows. Whether you're into punk, post-rock, or guitar-driven indie, there's likely something worth catching.

Keep an eye on F.A.D YOKOHAMA's official social media and website for ticket info and any additional announcements. With this kind of lineup, shows could fill up quickly.
