Bakufu Slump to Go "Under the Big Onion"! First Nippon Budokan Performance in 35 Years Confirmed
Bakufu Slump's performance in Tokyo at Nippon Budokan, titled "Bakufu Slump 2026 LIVE at Nippon Budokan ~Utae, Okina Tamanegi no Shita de," will be held on August 11, 2026.
It has been approximately 35 years since Bakufu Slump performed at Nippon Budokan. The group reunited in 2024 to mark their 40th anniversary, releasing their first new song in 26 years and holding a tour. At the tour finale, they told fans, "We won't say when, but we want to perform under the big onion," and this performance will fulfill that promise. Regarding the decision to hold the concert, Sunplaza Nakano-kun commented, "There are many bands that have loved the Budokan, but I selfishly believe that Bakufu Slump is the band most loved by the Budokan! I look forward to singing together with everyone in mutual love at our mutually loved Budokan."
In conjunction with the announcement of this performance, a new artist photo has been released, and the opening of a limited-time fan club, "Hone Made Aishite ~Onions," was announced for the first time in approximately 26 years since their hiatus declaration in 1999. The fan club is currently conducting advance ticket sales on a first-come, first-served basis, and "tickets with guaranteed front arena seats" limited to fan club members are also available. Furthermore, those who join the 12-month plan by December 31 will receive a "physical membership card" as an early enrollment benefit.

There are many bands that have loved the Budokan, but I selfishly believe that Bakufu Slump is the band most loved by the Budokan! I look forward to singing together with everyone in mutual love at our mutually loved Budokan.

1985 was called the "Miracle Budokan," and 1989 was called the "Heisei Rock Explosion," so this time let's go with "Reiwa Rock Great Explosion!" My heart is already pounding (not from palpitations or shortness of breath). I am looking forward to it.

In the 35 years since then, I have played drums at various venues as a drummer. Even in small places, no matter how few customers there were, I told myself, "Whether it's big or small, what I do is the same!!" and played. In large venues, I told myself, "I will deliver raw sound to the back row," and played. Yes, at this Budokan as well, I intend to deliver these passionate thoughts to the very back row with raw sound!!
