NiEW has unveiled the fifth lineup for ‘exPoP!!!!! Reunion 2025’, the paid spin-off of its long-running live series ‘exPoP!!!!!’. The festival will take place across seven venues in Shibuya, Tokyo, on Sunday, November 9.
First launched in 2007, ‘exPoP!!!!!’ has held more than 180 editions—including special events—offering free admission to music fans for nearly two decades. The upcoming ‘Reunion 2025’ marks a new evolution for the event: a multi-venue circuit festival connecting Shibuya’s key live spots, including Spotify O-nest, Spotify O-EAST, Spotify O-WEST, duo MUSIC EXCHANGE, clubasia, WOMB LIVE, and 7th FLOOR.
To date, the festival has announced over 40 performers, among them Yasuyuki Horigome, OGRE YOU ASSHOLE, WONK, Satoko Shibata, Homecomings, Summer Eye Sound Syndicate, Saho Terao, Pasocom Music Club, Helsinki Lambda Club, Shugo Tokumaru, Yukkyun, and Dos Monos.
In its latest announcement, the festival adds GEZAN, Fuyumi Abe, and Texas 3000 to the lineup. The official timetable has also been released, offering a first look at how the day’s performances will unfold across Shibuya.
Tickets for the festival are now on general sale for ¥7,500 via Ticket Pia, e+, and Lawson Ticket. Inbound tickets are also available for overseas visitors. Additionally, a limited number of fee-free tickets are being sold at the Spotify O-EAST box office on a first-come, first-served basis. A special ¥100 middle school discount ticket is also available in limited quantities.
Separately, applications are open until Sunday, October 12, for the ‘exPoP!!!!! Reunion 2025’ audition hosted by TuneCore Japan, offering performers a chance to appear at the festival. Full details can be found on the official website.
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.
