The open-air event “Bonna Pot” returns for two consecutive all-night sessions from Friday, November 8 to Sunday, November 10.
Marking its fifth edition, “Bonna Pot” gained buzz during its 2022 run at Chidori Park in Kawasaki. This year, the event heads back to Auto Camp Ginga in Nishi-Izu, Shizuoka, for the first time in three years. The dance floor will be set in a picturesque grassy clearing within the “most beautiful forest,” a site that couldn’t be used previously.
Renowned for its state-of-the-art, high-end sound system, this year’s setup is even more refined, delivering a rich, deep bass and smooth, delicate highs. The system is designed to create an immersive, three-dimensional sound that resonates deeply with the audience.
The lineup brings together a diverse range of DJs and live acts, showcasing originality and broad musical styles from Japan and beyond. Seven international artists are confirmed, with live sets from Melbourne’s CS + Kreme, Berlin’s THOMASH, and O/Y. DJs include Bangkok’s techno favorite Sunju Hargun, Detroit’s Scott Zacharias, and Berlin-based Alicia Carrera and An-i. From Japan, the lineup features ∈Y∋ from Boredoms, Abiu, CHIDA, AKIRAMEN, Shhhhh, Toshio “BING” Kajiwara, 7e, Kagamin, and nø¡R, crossing genre boundaries.
The schedule is curated to reflect the shifts of the sun, moon, stars, and space. It’s designed with the vision of blending all forms of music, art, people, generations, nationalities, races, religions, and beliefs, while maintaining the individuality of each element under the music.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own art, decorations, and performances, and they can sell their creations at the venue. Food options, including vegetarian and halal, will be available. Tickets are currently on sale through Zaiko.
