On January 4, 2026 (Sunday), 'New Beginning Fes 2026' (hereafter, New Beginning Fes) will be held at Tokyo Garden Theater! 'New Beginning Fes' was born as a new music festival themed around challenge, encounter, and a step into the future, aiming to provide all participants with opportunities to discover new possibilities and insights, as implied by its name meaning 'new departure.' In May of this year, it was first held as a collaborative event 'New Beginning Fes in GMO Shibuya Entertainment Festival,' which took place across the entire Shibuya area in Tokyo. Ten artists performed, and tickets sold out for both days, concluding with great success amidst excitement. Additionally, a second event was held in the summer as a public recording event, featuring five artists, which also saw tickets sell out immediately, generating a significant response. Now, the 'New Beginning Fes 2026' at Tokyo Garden Theater has been confirmed. Today (the 20th), five artists performing on this highly anticipated stage have been announced. Lienel, a six-member main vocal and dance group from Stardust Promotion, will be making their third appearance after performing in May and August. aoen, a new generation J-POP boys group that debuted in June after emerging from an audition program, will also perform. BUDDiiS, who are involved in their own live productions and aim to engage everyone involved as 'buddies,' will take the stage. n.SSign, a multinational seven-member global boys group that captivated audiences with their stunning performance in May, will also participate. Lastly, OWV, who are currently on a nationwide tour celebrating their fifth anniversary, will also perform. These artists, each with different backgrounds and genres, will gather to showcase their respective 'new challenges,' creating a stage worthy of the name 'New Beginning' and delivering unforgettable memories that can only be made here this winter. Furthermore, comments from the performers have arrived regarding the event! Stay tuned for further updates.
