Spotify has revealed the 10 artists selected for “RADAR: Early Noise 2026,” marking the program’s milestone 10th year.
The 2026 lineup features OSHIKIKEIGO, OddRe:, kurayamisaka, Haku., Maverick Mom, Meiyo Densetsu, LAUSBUB, luv, Litty, and Rol3ert. Along with the announcement, Spotify has rolled out an official playlist and a dedicated feature page. A special episode of ”New Music Wednesday [Podcast Edition]” has also gone live, with music concierge Fukuryu and Spotify’s music team breaking down the artists and the qualities that set their music apart.
At the same time, Spotify confirmed the Japan debut of ”Fresh Finds Japan,” a discovery playlist aimed at spotlighting the next generation of talent at the earliest stages of their careers. Launched globally in 2016, ”Fresh Finds” has played a key role in the rise of artists such as Laufey, Doechii, Clairo, Japanese Breakfast, and Ice Spice, helping featured acts more than double their average new listener counts and overseas streams. The inaugural ”Fresh Finds Japan” playlist highlights 48 artists, including REJAY, Fuki Kitamura, Manaka, and Meg Bonus.
The announcements culminate in a live showcase. ”Spotify Early Noise Night #18” will be held on Thursday, March 19, at Spotify O-EAST in Shibuya, Tokyo. Performers include OSHIKIKEIGO, OddRe:, Haku., and Meiyo Densetsu from the ”RADAR: Early Noise 2026” roster, with REJAY — featured on the first ”Fresh Finds Japan” cover — appearing as the opening act. Tickets are now on sale via ePlus.
