What this is
REBEL 2 BANQUET is a professional wrestling event taking place in Tokyo in August 2026, representing the second installment in the REBEL series. The event combines live pro wrestling action with a banquet-style presentation, setting it apart from conventional arena shows by pairing matches with food and beverage service in an intimate venue. It operates within Japan's vibrant independent wrestling scene, which is globally respected for its athleticism, storytelling, and passionate fanbase. The banquet format signals a curated, social experience rather than a mass-audience spectacle, making it a distinctive night out for wrestling enthusiasts.
Who should go
This event is tailor-made for hardcore professional wrestling fans who follow Japan's independent circuit and appreciate alternative, immersive formats beyond the standard arena show. The intimate banquet setting will appeal to those who enjoy being close to the action and interacting with performers and fellow fans in a relaxed social atmosphere. It's also a solid pick for curious newcomers to Japanese indie wrestling who want a more approachable, dinner-show style introduction to the scene. Arrive early to secure a good seat and take advantage of any food and drink service before the action begins.
Good to know
Tickets are sold through eplus.jp β the site accepts foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address; select 'combini pickup' at checkout. Flowers Loft is a small, intimate live venue in Tokyo with a standing and mixed-seating layout typical of Tokyo live houses, with a bar area and limited capacity, so the atmosphere will be close and energetic. The '1Dε₯' in the price listing means a separate one-drink charge is mandatory at the door β budget an extra Β₯500βΒ₯800 for this on top of your ticket price. Doors typically open 30β60 minutes before showtime, so arriving at door-open is advisable to grab a good spot and settle in before the first match. Cash is strongly recommended for drinks and any merchandise sold on the night.
