What this is
A rock and indie live music event at Club Upset in Nagoya, featuring bands No.0 and Iwazumoganaootokagetc alongside additional supporting acts. Club Upset is one of Nagoya's established live music venues, known for hosting underground and indie rock shows in an intimate setting.

This show offers a chance to experience authentic Japanese indie rock culture away from the mainstream.
Who should go
Ideal for fans of Japanese indie and rock music looking to discover emerging or cult-favourite acts on the Nagoya scene. The atmosphere at small live houses like Club Upset tends to be energetic and close-knit, with a crowd of passionate music lovers. This is also a great pick for expats or visitors curious about Japan's underground music culture beyond the tourist trail. Arrive early to catch all supporting acts and grab a drink at the bar.
Good to know
Tickets for Club Upset shows are typically sold through eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup at Lawson (combini) is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Club Upset is a small live house with a standing floor, so expect a compact, energetic crowd pressed close to the stage. Doors usually open around 30–60 minutes before showtime, so arriving early is recommended to secure a good spot and grab a drink. Cash is advisable for drinks and merchandise at the venue, as smaller live houses in Japan often do not accept cards at the bar.
