What this is

OCEAN PEOPLES'26 is an outdoor music festival taking place on July 4th and 5th, 2026, at SUNSET BEACH PARK INAGE within Inage Seaside Park in Chiba. The festival blends a diverse lineup of artists spanning R&B, hip-hop, and alternative sounds against a beachside backdrop on Tokyo Bay. This is the second wave of artist announcements, with confirmed acts including Los Retros, OZworld, JP THE WAVY, and the collective FNCY (ZEN-LA-ROCK / G.RINA / Chinza DOPENESS). The seaside setting makes it a distinctive summer festival experience within easy reach of central Tokyo, combining music with the atmosphere of a coastal park in midsummer.

Who should go

This festival is ideal for fans of contemporary R&B, hip-hop, and Japanese urban music scenes who want a relaxed outdoor summer vibe. The beachside setting and eclectic lineup make it a great fit for music lovers in their 20s and 30s looking for a weekend escape from the city. International visitors with an interest in the Japanese independent and urban music scene will find the lineup genuinely exciting, especially with Los Retros bringing a California lo-fi R&B flavour to the bill. Arrive early on each day to secure a good spot and make the most of the seaside atmosphere before the main acts.

Good to know

Tickets are expected to be sold via eplus.jp and pia.jp — both platforms accept foreign credit cards, and Lawson convenience store pickup is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese address. As an outdoor beachside festival in midsummer, the venue will be exposed to direct sun and sea breeze, so pack accordingly — sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, and light layers for the evening are essential. Bags and large items may be subject to security checks at the gate, so travel light and arrive at least 30–45 minutes before the first act you want to see. Cash is advisable for food and drink stalls at Japanese outdoor festivals, as not all vendors accept card payments.
