The curtain finally opens for SONICMANIA, the eve of SUMMER SONIC, in just one week.

James Blake, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Perfume, Denki Groove etc., the most unmissable line-up in the history of SONICMANIA will make you dance with a variety of auditory, visual and perceptual stimuli.
This is the biggest all-night event in the country, attracting more than 20,000 people with a variety of food and drinks to satisfy your taste buds.

You can come at the beginning and leave a little early, or catch the last train and enjoy the party until the morning.

The opposite of a hot dance act, the cool Makuhari Messe is waiting for you one step ahead.

And the day after that, SUMMER SONIC will start, which this year set a record by being the fastest ever to sell out both Tokyo and Osaka in the first week of sales.

Over 200,000 festival junkies from all over the world will gather at SUMMER SONIC.

BLUR from the UK will continue the momentum from their hugely successful 2 days at Wembley Stadium, Kendrick Lamar from the US along with the title of the world’s most successful touring rap act, will headline the festival this year.

In addition, a stellar line-up of artists from 13 countries will perform live and hot on each stage.

In Tokyo, the BEACH STAGE curated by Gen Hoshino and the art project involving the entire city of Kaihin-Makuhari will also exceed your expectations.
Osaka’s MASSIVE STAGE has also been called the best line-up of all time, and is a source of envy.

The opening of SUMMER SONIC 2023 is coming soon, and if you are lucky enough to get a ticket this year, please make a new summer history with the wonderful artists.
If you couldn’t get tickets this year, you can still join as a part of this world on demand on WOWOW.

We’ll always be waiting for you to come back!
Enjoy the end of summer with SUMMER SONIC and SONICMANIA.
