Summer Sonic
One of the largest music festivals in Japan
Strong program lineup and convenient transportation
Known as the most suitable music festival for novices to pursue overseas stars
The performance lineup is mainly composed of well-known European and American artists, interspersed with big-name Japanese or Korean artists. Only here can you see the spectacle of the Mr.Children Gang’s grand finale to warm up the show.
The headliners for 2023 are blur, Kendrick Lama & Liam (brother of Oasis), and the first show on the main stage is NewJeans!! (Oh my God, it smells so good)
The Tokyo venue is at Seaside Makuhari Station (the same station as the Mitsui outlet, so supply is convenient). It can be reached on foot in ten minutes after exiting the station. The transportation is much more convenient than Fuji Rock. In terms of accommodation, you can stay at the Keiyo Line Extension Station, or you can stay in the center of Tokyo or just come to the venue for about an hour. When the venue is over, there are so many people heading towards Tokyo that it is often difficult to get on the train, so it is easier to go towards Soga. If you have enough budget and plan ahead, just stay nearby!! Seaside Makuhari Station is usually the venue for various large-scale exhibitions. There are many businesses and star-rated hotels in the surrounding area, but it is usually almost fully booked half a year before Summer Sonic.
The venue is very large. The main stage is at the Marine Stage in Chiba Lode Marine. There will also be 3 stages in the indoor venue and 1 beach stage. All types of listeners can find the most suitable way to participate. You can lie down and stay on your favorite stage all day, or you can be a time management master and travel between stages. There is a shuttle bus between the main stage and the indoor area, but when there are many people, it may take more than half an hour to move between stages. Don't make the queue too full and the performances on both stages will be in vain~~
A little tip for laymen: If you want to get a good seat in the grandstand area of the main stage to watch the Headliner, you can go and book a seat in the afternoon. Remember to sit on the right-hand side facing the stage. The stage is generally facing south and north. The right-hand side of the stage is on the west side so that you will not be directly hit by the setting sun. You will be exposed to the sun before you can wait till night~~
That’s about it, let’s experience the rest for ourselves
