The live music event small circle ’25 is set to take place on Saturday, October 4, at Kitahama Park in Beppu, Oita Prefecture.
This event serves as a spin-off of the popular outdoor festival CIRCLE, which is held annually every May at Uminonakamichi Seaside Park in Fukuoka. As part of a new approach under the CIRCLE brand, small circle ’25 will offer intimate acoustic performances against the picturesque backdrop of Beppu Bay.
The lineup features five acts closely linked to CIRCLE: Ichiko Aoba with Keigo Oyamada & U-zhaan, Small Circle of Friends, Ryosuke Nagaoka, Ikuko Harada, and Rekishi. Known for its rich hot spring culture, Beppu provides a fitting setting for what organizers describe as a “music festival for adults.”
Tickets will be available through a lottery system starting Thursday, June 26 at 6:00 PM. Admission is free for elementary school children and younger, while discounted tickets will be offered for students from middle school through university.
