[All-day pass] SHINJUKU LOFT 50th ANNIVERSARY Ticket

Overview

Celebrating half a century of underground music history, the legendary Shinjuku LOFT presents a monumental multi-day event: DRIVE FROM 80s. This festival is a deep dive into the avant-garde, punk, and “New Wave” scenes that defined the Japanese music landscape of the 1980s and continue to influence the world today.

The All-Day Pass grants exclusive access to three distinct nights of musical exploration. From the legendary vocal gymnastics of Jun Togawa and the art-pop eccentricities of Hikashu to the post-punk energy of AUTO-MOD and Machida Ko, this lineup represents a “who’s who” of Japanese alternative history. It is a rare gathering of pioneers and cult icons in the very basement where many of these movements were born.
