The 81 Music Festival Production Committee has officially announced the full lineup for the inaugural edition of 81 MUSIC FESTIVAL, set to take place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO in Odaiba.
Bringing together a global mix of electronic, pop, and hip-hop talent, the debut festival will feature performances from The Kid LAROI, R3HAB, MRAK, John Martin, Vini Vici B2B MR.BLACK, Night Tempo, Alan Shirahama, 3LI¥EN, and MARVY. The event will also host a special world premiere showcase from R3HAB and the Japan debut performance of MRAK.
Designed as a new international platform for music and culture, 81 MUSIC FESTIVAL aims to connect Japan with the global music scene through a carefully curated program that balances established headliners with emerging talent. Hosted inside the newly developed TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO, the event promises large-scale production and convenient access from central Tokyo and Haneda Airport.
From the electronic side of the lineup, R3HAB is expected to deliver his signature high-energy festival sound, blending melodic hooks with explosive drops tailored for arena-scale environments. Meanwhile, MRAK will bring a more cinematic and immersive performance style, leaning heavily into atmosphere, emotion, and visual storytelling rather than a traditional DJ format.
At the top of the bill, The Kid LAROI brings an emotional and youthful crossover energy to the festival’s identity. Known globally for tracks like STAY alongside Justin Bieber, his performances balance massive singalong moments with stripped-back melodic intensity.
John Martin, whose vocals helped define some of dance music’s most iconic records, adds another emotionally driven layer to the event. Elsewhere, the B2B set from Vini Vici and MR.BLACK promises relentless psytrance energy designed for peak crowd movement and high-impact festival moments.
Providing contrast to the heavier sounds, Night Tempo will deliver his signature fusion of Japanese city pop nostalgia and modern club grooves. Alan Shirahama, continuing to build his international presence as both a DJ and producer alongside his work with EXILE and GENERATIONS, is expected to bring a melodic dance-focused set crafted specifically for the arena environment.
Tickets for the event are currently available across multiple tiers, including PLATINUM and GOLD standing options, as well as GA seated tickets designed for a wider audience. Notably, GA tickets will also allow entry for attendees under 18 under specific conditions.
The name “81” references Japan’s international dialing code, symbolizing the festival’s mission to connect Japan with the rest of the world through music and cultural exchange. Built around the theme “From CODE to CORE — connecting Japan and the world through music,” the festival aims to create a broader sensory and cultural experience beyond just live performances.
81 MUSIC FESTIVAL will run from 12:00 PM to 9:30 PM on June 27, 2026. Tickets are currently on sale through the festival’s official channels until sold out. For more information on the festival and purchasing tickets, visit here.
