Japan’s Biggest Stars Are Heading to California for Zipangu 2026

by

Cloud Nine and Goldenvoice are thrilled to announce Zipangu 2026, a first-of-its-kind one-day festival bringing Japanese music and culture to the United States. Taking place May 16th at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, the festival promises more than just a concert – it’s designed to be a fully immersive cultural experience.

Zipangu is a major event showcasing the exciting growth of Japanese music around the world, combining energetic concerts with delicious Japanese food. Headlined by the incredibly popular singer Ado, who will perform a special 60-minute show, the festival also features other leading Japanese artists like ATARASHII GAKKO!, CHANMINA, HANA, MAN WITH A MISSION, Yuki Chiba, and 10-FEET. What makes Zipangu unique is that all the artists will perform complete, full-length sets, highlighting a vibrant and innovative music scene.

Zipangu isn’t just about the music; it’s bringing the exciting energy of Japanese street culture to California. Organizers are building Rose Bowl Yokocho, a special area for food and drinks that aims to feel like the lively, small dining streets found in Tokyo. This space will feature a hand-picked selection of Japanese food and drinks, showcasing the country’s creativity. By combining elements of anime, manga, and fashion with a high-quality live event experience, Zipangu is creating a new way for people to experience Japanese culture and connect with its fans. TopMob will be at the event documenting how Japanese music, food, fashion, and youth trends come to life for California audiences.
