noon 'Zoo' Release Tour 2026 | Progressive Soul Live in Nagoya
About this event
What this is
This is a live concert by noon (フーン), a Nagoya-area stop on their 2026 tour 'Zoo Fantástica' supporting their 2nd album 'Zoo'. noon is a four-piece band comprising vocalist JC, bassist Naoto Tsumishima, harpist Yuko Uesu, and keyboardist Kensaku Egashira — an unusually eclectic lineup that sets them apart from most contemporary Japanese acts. The band began as an instrumental outfit before evolving into a genre-defying project that weaves together noise, free jazz, hip-hop, soul, punk, choir, and electronica under the banner of 'progressive soul'. Having released three mini-albums between 2018 and the mid-2020s and their debut full-length 'FIRST LOVE' in 2025, this tour marks the arrival of their second full album 'Zoo', making it a significant milestone in the band's discography.
Who should go
This show is ideal for open-eared music fans who enjoy experimental and genre-crossing sounds — think fans of Hiatus Kaiyote, Snarky Puppy, or Japanese acts like Ovall and Suchmos who appreciate sophisticated, soul-rooted music with adventurous edges. The inclusion of a harp alongside bass and keys gives noon a genuinely distinctive sonic palette that rewards attentive listening. The atmosphere at Club Quattro Nagoya tends to be intimate and music-focused, attracting a discerning crowd rather than a rowdy one. Note that entry is restricted to primary school age and above — no pre-school children admitted.
Good to know
Tickets are sold in advance via eplus.jp or pia.jp — both platforms accept foreign credit cards, and Lawson convenience store pickup (combini) is the most practical option for visitors without a Japanese postal address. Club Quattro Nagoya is located inside the Parco building in Sakae and holds approximately 500–600 people; it is an all-standing venue with a numbered entry system, so your ticket number determines when you can enter after doors open at 18:00. The venue has a bar area and is known for excellent sound quality and an attentive, music-focused crowd. Pre-school children are not admitted; primary school age and above require a paid ticket. Arrive at least 30 minutes before doors to allow time for ticket collection and any bag check.
