We are pleased to announce that the 25th anniversary of SUMMER SONIC has come to a successful close.

In Tokyo, although there were some delays in preparations due to the heavy rain the day before the event, we were able to hold the festival as scheduled thanks to the cooperation of all those who supported it—including our staff, partners, and the local community.
Once again, we sincerely pray for the swift recovery and reconstruction of the areas affected by the heavy rain.

In Osaka, this marked the third year the festival has been held at Expo ’70 Commemorative Park. We are delighted that this venue, which symbolizes Osaka, has provided both our attendees and performers with the opportunity to enjoy SUMMER SONIC.

SUMMER SONIC has reached this milestone of its 25th anniversary. Next year will mark a fresh start as we look toward our next anniversary.
We look forward to seeing you all again next year at our venues in Tokyo and Osaka!
