The second lineup announcement has been revealed for exPoP!!!!! Reunion 2025, a special paid edition of the long-running music series exPoP!!!!!. The event will be held on Sunday, November 9, across seven venues in Tokyo’s Shibuya district.

Since its launch in 2007, exPoP!!!!! has hosted more than 180 editions—including special showcases—as a free-admission event. Reunion 2025 marks a bold new chapter, transforming the beloved series into a full-scale circuit-style festival. Performances will take place at seven iconic Shibuya venues: Spotify O-nest, Spotify O-EAST, Spotify O-west, duo MUSIC EXCHANGE, clubasia, WOMB LIVE, and 7th FLOOR.

The first wave of announced performers included WONK, Satoko Shibata, Homecomings, Saho Terao, LOSTAGE, Dongurizu, PASOCOM MUSIC CLUB, Fuki Kitamura, hnnn, HALLEY, and Tengoku Ryokō.

Now joining them in the second wave are 12 more acts: Helsinki Lambda Club, Shugo Tokumaru, Khaki, LAUSBUB, HOME, Sara Wakui, Yukkyun, Niko’n, Jiguzaguzu, Uki, Misaki Umei, and Ålborg. Detailed venue assignments and set times will be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets are currently available through Ticket Pia via the third round of official advance lottery sales, priced at ¥6,500. In addition, a limited number of discounted tickets are being offered: ¥100 for junior high school students, and ¥4,000 for attendees under 23. Both are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Hello and goodbye, again and again — that’s the rhythm of life.

exPoP!!!!! started back in 2007 as a free space where words on a screen couldn’t capture the raw energy of live music. We wanted you to feel that power up close, in the moment. Since then, it’s grown, and in 2023, NiEW took up the torch to carry that spirit forward.

We often meet people who say, “I saw that artist at exPoP!!!!! back when I was a student,” or bump into fans who found us by chance in their daily lives. Those stories tell us why this journey matters — because it’s about connection, growth, and the magic that only time and continuity can create.

There’s something special about reuniting. Not by coincidence, but by choice. When music lovers bring the event’s spirit back into their lives — sharing, discovering, inspiring — culture spreads in ways you can’t predict.

After nearly 200 events and 18 years, imagine what happens when all these changed selves meet again. New sparks will fly — different, unexpected, thrilling. And for those just discovering exPoP!!!!! now, imagine the countless new beginnings waiting to happen.

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s a new chapter. The same spirit, but with fresh faces and sounds, gathering across Shibuya’s Dogenzaka for exPoP!!!!! Reunion. It’s bigger, bolder, and it’s waiting for you.

To old friends, we can’t wait to see you again. To new friends, welcome — we’ve been waiting for you. Let’s set aside the everyday and dive into the joy of music, reunion, and discovery.
