FAQs

What is the difference between Arena Standing and Stand Seating?

Arena Standing is a non-reserved area directly in front of the stage, ideal for those who want to dance and be close to the artists. Stand Seating provides a fixed, reserved chair in the theater’s tiered seating section.

Is there a wristband exchange?

Yes, all ticket holders must visit the exchange booth starting at 10:00 AM on the day of the performance to receive their wristband. This wristband allows you to enter and move within your designated ticket zone.

Can I bring my children to the festival?

Preschool children (under school age) can enter for free if they sit on a guardian’s lap in the Stand Seating. However, if the child requires their own seat, or for entry into the Arena, a ticket must be purchased.

What artists are performing on Saturday?

The Saturday (May 16) lineup includes Kawanishi Natsuki, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Klang Ruler, C&K, and TEE.

Do I need to bring identification?

While not always mandatory for entry, the organizers reserve the right to check ID for age verification or ticket ownership, so bringing a valid photo ID (like a passport) is highly recommended.
