For 20 years, J-WAVE81.3FM has hosted one of  Tokyo’s largest inner-city music events, J-WAVE LIVE. This year, organizers are expanding the event to include a variety of market stalls selling food and fashion unique to Tokyo.

The best in Tokyo’s live music will run across three stages with back-to-back performances meaning minimal downtime between sets. In addition to single or multi-day tickets, visitors also have the opportunity to purchase stage-specific passes for their favorite stages.

 

 

The two main stages will feature a mix of Japan’s best pop, rock, electronic and hip-hop music over the three days, including performances from Okinawan hip-hop artist Awich, Yokohama rockers Asian Kung Fu Generation and Man With a Mission to name a few. The third stage at Yoyogi 2nd Gymnasium will feature a collection of artists from around Asia including Thailand’s HYBS, and Laos’ ALUNA as well as up-and-coming Japanese artists such as R&B artists WONK, indie artists Chilli Beans and hip-hop artist Akko Gorilla.

 

 

The market stalls introduced this year bring together a broad spectrum of Tokyo and greater Japan’s breweries, event organizers, sustainable producers and restaurants. One of the biggest partners this year is the team behind Tokyo’s biggest sake event, Sake Week, who will this weekend be participating as Sake Weekend, showcasing 30 of Japan’s finest sake breweries over three days. In addition, at Ethical Market 17 environmentally conscious brands will showcase their sustainable wares featuring everything from fashion and homewares to tea and beauty products. And, to keep you going over the long weekend, food and drink stalls will be selling a variety of craft beers, baked goods, ramen and street food.
