The additional lineup for the new urban festival CENTRAL MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT FESTIVAL 2025, which will take place from April 4 (Friday) to 6 (Sunday) in Yokohama, Kanagawa, has been announced.
The newly confirmed performers include Hayato Sumino, Awich, Creepy Nuts, Isekai Jōcho, ClariS, Urara Nanami, HIMEHINA, Reol, Akiyama Kiro, CLAN QUEEN, Cody・Lee(李), Conton Candy, and Rikon Densetsu, bringing the total to 13 new acts. The event schedule, including the previously announced performers, has also been released.
The festival’s concept is “Japan’s Sound to the World,” bringing together artists gaining international attention, as well as diverse entertainment such as anime and technology. The city of Yokohama itself will transform into a massive festival space. The main venues for the event are K Arena Yokohama, Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, KT Zepp Yokohama, and Rinko Park, all iconic locations in Yokohama.
The CENTRAL STAGE at K Arena Yokohama, the largest venue at the festival, will feature special performances by cutting-edge artists from Japan’s music scene, with unique collaborations that cannot be seen anywhere else. Previously announced acts such as Nogizaka46 and Ketsukoband will also perform. KT Zepp Yokohama will host VIVAL, a live event on April 5 (Saturday) featuring collaborations between VTubers and real-world artists, and NEW GENE FEST, a live event on April 6 (Sunday) showcasing artists representing a new “generation.” At the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, an event curated by Sony Music Entertainment’s newly established management and label “Echoes” will take place, featuring artists like YOASOBI and FRUITS ZIPPER. Further details about the event at Rinko Park will be announced soon, but it will be an admission-free area.
Tickets for the event will be available starting January 31 (Friday) at noon through official pre-sale. Tickets for specific venues and multi-venue tickets for April 5 (Saturday) and 6 (Sunday) will be sold.
Additionally, CENTRAL is planning overseas performances, with further details about venues to be announced later.
