Summer Sonic 2026 has unveiled its eighth wave of artists, adding another batch of names to this year’s festival set for August 14–16 in Chiba and Osaka.
New additions include mgk, UNNVE, The Guest List, BINI, and DECEMBER 10 among eight newly announced acts. Already confirmed for the festival, mgk has now also been added to the Tokyo lineup on August 15, meaning the artist will appear across all three days of the event.
The Tokyo edition will also host a special beach stage showcase titled EURODANCE PARADISE on August 16, bringing together Eurodance icons including Real McCoy, Thea Austin of SNAP!, and Crystal Waters.
The festival takes place at ZOZO Marine Stadium and Makuhari Messe in Tokyo, alongside Expo ’70 Commemorative Park in Osaka. Additional artist announcements and stage breakdowns are set to arrive in May ahead of general ticket sales opening May 30 at 10:00 a.m.
