As the longstanding hub for global-minded music enthusiasts in the region, the 14th edition of the Kansai Music Conference (KMC) is embracing its local roots with a unique twist. This year, the three-day event, connecting artists from Japan and around the world, will unfold across Kansai’s major cities: Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe. It’s a gathering where diverse creative minds converge to build bridges between their communities.

The festivities begin on Friday night in Kyoto at the renowned live venue, Growly. KMC 2023’s opening night spotlights predominantly female and underrepresented gender artists, featuring a mix of local and international talent. This concert encapsulates the spirit of KMC 2023, kicking off the weekend with high-energy performances.

KMC 2023’s primary goal is to foster musical connections between Japan and the world, while also showcasing the appeal of the Kansai region as an essential stop on any Japan tour. It’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in a vibrant musical journey that celebrates Kansai’s rich cultural tapestry.
