Background

Jigolock is organized with the goal of revitalizing the Oita region through the power of entertainment, drawing inspiration from the local “jigoku” (hell) hot springs and “rock” music. The significance of the festival lies in its ability to attract a wide demographic, ranging from longtime fans of legacy artists to younger generations following the latest J-pop and hip-hop trends.

The venue, Oita Sports Park, is a world-class facility that offers ample space for multiple stages, food stalls featuring local Oita delicacies, and rest areas. By hosting such a large-scale event, Jigolock continues to put Oita on the map as a central hub for major cultural and musical exchanges in Southern Japan.

Faqs

What identification is required for the student ticket category?

Elementary, junior high, and high school students who have purchased the discounted 5,000 yen ticket must bring a valid student ID or proof of age. This will be checked at the entrance to verify eligibility for the reduced rate before wristbands are issued.

What is included in the “Ticket with Bonus” souvenir set?

The “Ticket with Bonus” option usually includes exclusive festival-branded merchandise such as a commemorative towel, a limited-edition tote bag, or a special souvenir set that is not available for separate purchase at the general merchandise stands.

Are there any specific rules for the two-day pass holders?

If you purchase a 2-day pass, you will receive a specific wristband on the first day that must be kept on for the duration of the entire weekend. Removing or losing the wristband will result in a loss of entry privileges for the second day.

Will the festival proceed if it rains on the event days?

As an outdoor festival, Jigolock generally proceeds in rainy weather but may be suspended or canceled in the event of severe storms or lightning. It is highly recommended to bring a raincoat or poncho, as umbrellas are typically prohibited in the viewing areas for safety.

How do I access the venue from central Oita Station?

Special shuttle buses are usually operated between JR Oita Station and Oita Sports Park specifically for festival attendees. These buses run at frequent intervals throughout the morning and evening to ensure smooth transport for the large volume of fans.
