Background

The CHAGU CHAGU ROCK FESTIVAL 2026 (commonly known as “Chagurock”) is a premier outdoor music event scheduled for June 6–7, 2026. Organized by TV Iwate, the festival is now in its third year and has quickly become a signature early-summer tradition in the Tohoku region. The event’s name is inspired by the historic “Chagu Chagu Umakko” horse festival, a UNESCO-recognized soundscape of Japan; the rock festival seeks to bring that same rhythmic energy and local pride to the modern music scene, blending Iwate’s deep cultural roots with contemporary rock and pop.

The 2026 lineup features an eclectic mix of major national artists and critically acclaimed performers. Key acts announced for this edition include Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Do As Infinity, Kroi, Natsuko Nisshoku, wacci, and Kohei Matsushita, along with the idol group ≠ME. By offering a “family-friendly” atmosphere with discounted tickets for elementary and junior high students, the festival serves as a multi-generational gathering point that aims to revitalize the local community through the power of live performance and the natural beauty of the Iwate highlands.
