Japan’s Summer Sonic festival is a feast for music lovers and folks who just love to party. The event curates some of the best acts in the world, inviting a range of rock, pop and EDM artists from across Japan and the world. This year, the line-up includes the likes of Fall Out Boy, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rita Ora, Zedd, BLACKPINK and The Chainsmokers—just to name a few.
This year, celebrating its 20th anniversary, Summer Sonic 2019 will span over three days from 16 to 18 August 2019 and will take place in both Osaka and Tokyo. Summer Sonic will be held in both the Zozo Marine Stadium and the Makuhari Messe (in Tokyo) and at the Maishima Sonic Park (in Osaka).
Summer Sonic 2019 will be a three-day party of insane proportions, we’re talking multiple stages, more than 50 artists, and a sick crowd thousands strong at least, with a bunch of awesome art and food to boot.
Getting Tickets
First things first, let’s take care of the entry passes. Tickets to Summer Sonic in Osaka are priced at 13,800 Yen (S$174) for a 1-day pass and 36,000 Yen (S$454) for a 3-day pass.
For the festival in Tokyo, tickets are priced at 15,000 Yen (S$189) for a 1-day pass and 39,000 Yen (S$492) for a 3-day pass. You can pre-purchase them via their website.
When you get to the respective venue, you’ll be given a wrist band in exchange for your ticket. For whatever reason, be it how itchy it gets or how much you want to see if you can pry it off, don’t. No band, no access.

There’ll be food stands scattered around the event venue for you to refuel and even massage tents for you to get yourself nice and loosened up to do some serious partying—that and so much more!
