What this is
F.A.D YOKOHAMA is a beloved independent live music venue in Yokohama that has been a cornerstone of the city's underground and indie rock scene for three decades. This June 2026 show is part of F.A.D's 30th Anniversary Series, a year-long celebration marking the venue's remarkable longevity in Japan's notoriously difficult live music market. The bill features Sunny Girl and SHE'll SLEEP, two acts from the Japanese indie and alternative scene. As a milestone anniversary series, these shows carry special significance for the local music community and represent a rare chance to experience Yokohama's grassroots live culture at its most authentic.
Who should go
This show is ideal for fans of Japanese indie rock, alternative, and underground music who want an intimate, community-driven live experience far from the polished arena circuit. The crowd will skew toward dedicated local music fans and scene regulars, making it a genuine slice of Yokohama's independent music culture. Foreign visitors with a taste for discovering local acts in small venues will find this far more rewarding than a tourist-facing event. Arrive early to secure a good spot on the floor and to soak up the pre-show atmosphere at the bar.
Good to know
Tickets for F.A.D shows are typically sold through eplus.jp or at the venue box office on the night — eplus accepts foreign credit cards, making it the most accessible option for visitors. F.A.D YOKOHAMA is a small, intimate standing live house with a capacity of roughly 200–300, so the atmosphere is close and energetic. Doors usually open around 30–60 minutes before showtime; arriving at door open is advisable as floor space fills quickly near the stage. The venue is cash-friendly at the bar, but bring yen as card acceptance for drinks at smaller live houses is not guaranteed. As part of the 30th Anniversary Series, this show may sell out in advance — booking ahead via eplus is strongly recommended.
