What this is
PES is a Japanese rapper and musician best known as one half of the legendary hip-hop duo RIP SLYME, one of Japan's most beloved and commercially successful rap acts since the late 1990s. As a solo artist, PES has carved out his own identity with energetic live performances that blend hip-hop, funk, and electronic elements. This June 2026 show at ell.FITS ALL in Nagoya offers fans an intimate club-scale experience with one of Japan's most respected MCs. Catching PES in a small venue like this is a rare opportunity compared to the arena-scale shows RIP SLYME typically commands.

The intimate venue setting means a close, energetic atmosphere with a crowd that knows every lyric. Music lovers who enjoy funk-influenced hip-hop with a positive, party-ready vibe will feel right at home. Arrive early to secure a good spot on the floor and to soak up the pre-show atmosphere.
Good to know
Tickets for shows at ell.FITS ALL are typically sold through eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards β convenience store pickup at Lawson or FamilyMart is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese address. ell.FITS ALL is a well-established mid-size live music club in Nagoya's Sakae district with a capacity of around 500, and shows here are generally standing only with a bar area. Arrive at least 30 minutes before doors open to clear the entrance and grab a drink before the floor fills up. Cash is recommended for merchandise and drinks at the venue, as card acceptance at the bar is not guaranteed.
