Comment from Ryo Kaizu (General Producer, J-Fes)
We have announced the first wave of performing artists for JAPAN JAM 2026.
I hope that many people will once again experience this comfortable festival where the current music scene gathers across four stages under the spring breeze.
This is the announcement of the first wave of performing artists for JAPAN JAM 2026.
Just three weeks ago, J-Fes had a joyous New Year's celebration at CDJ at Makuhari Messe, and now, as 2026 begins, we are getting started from here.
Thank you to all the artists who were quick to confirm their participation.
Among the three J-Fes events held annually in spring, summer, and winter, JAPAN JAM is known as the most comfortable festival with the best location and environment. I think those who have attended in recent years are well aware of the pleasant climate and sunshine during Golden Week.
Even for those who haven't attended, I believe you can get a sense of the uniquely blissful atmosphere of JAPAN JAM—enjoying music to the fullest against a backdrop of fresh green lawns—through social media.
It's the middle of winter now, but starting with this first announcement, spring will be here before we know it as we continue to release more information. Please look forward to JAPAN JAM 2026, the first festival of 2026.
Please note that for JAPAN JAM 2026, we will also be raising the price of a one-day ticket by 1,000 yen to 14,000 yen. This follows the increases last summer and winter, and the reason is the same one we explained for RIJF2025: to cope with the recent rise in all costs due to inflation. This is a difficult decision made to maintain and further develop the comfortable management that everyone appreciates—what I'll dare to call the "J-Fes quality." In return, we will absolutely aim to create a comfortable festival space again this year. Although it's hard to say anything definite right now with the uncertain social situation, we intend to maintain the ticket prices we've raised this past year for the summer, winter, and spring festivals for a while. I would be grateful for your understanding.
The first advance lottery for JAPAN JAM 2026 tickets begins today.
