YON FES Celebrates 10 Years With Limited Nagoya Pop-Up
To mark a decade of YON FES, organizers 04 Limited Sazabys are launching a pop-up experience in Nagoya featuring live footage, exclusive merchandise, and a special anniversary message from Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki.

04 Limited Sazabys is marking 10 years of their self-hosted music festival YON FES with a limited pop-up experience coming to Nagoya PARCO.
Running from June 13–22, "YON FES POP UP! in NAGOYA PARCO" will occupy the west building's fifth-floor event space with a curated selection of festival highlights and exclusive offerings. Visitors can expect live performance footage from past editions, a dedicated merchandise shop, and a special anniversary display—including a celebratory message from Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki.
The pop-up arrives just before the main event. YON FES 2026 is set for June 20–21 at Aichi Prefecture's Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park), continuing the band's tradition of hosting one of Japan's notable independent music festivals.
04 Limited Sazabys launched YON FES in 2016 as an extension of their growing presence in Japan's rock scene. The Nagoya-based four-piece—comprising vocalist Gen, guitarists Hirokaz and Ryu-Ta, and drummer Kouhei—started out in 2008 but didn't hit their stride until transitioning to Japanese-language lyrics around 2013. Their 2015 major label debut album CAVU established them as serious players, and they've sustained momentum with releases like 2022's Harvest and early 2025's EP MOON.
The festival has grown into a respected platform for Japanese rock and alternative acts, with a lineup that typically includes established names and emerging talent. This year's edition promises similar star power, drawing from the broader Japanese rock community.
For fans unable to attend the main festival, the pop-up offers a low-pressure way to celebrate the milestone and pick up exclusive items. It's a smart move for extending engagement beyond the two-day festival itself—giving people multiple touchpoints to connect with the YON FES brand and 04 Limited Sazabys' orbit.
