What this is
August 6th holds profound significance in Hiroshima, and this live concert — featuring RED in BLUE and HIPPY( — is part of the annual 'EIGHT SIX live 2026' series that marks that date through music. Club Quattro Hiroshima hosts this all-standing, numbered-entry show, with doors opening at 17:00 and the music starting at 18:00. Junior high school students and younger get in free, making it one of the more inclusive ticketed live events in the city.
Who should go
Fans of Japanese indie and alternative rock who want to spend August 6th in Hiroshima doing something meaningful rather than purely ceremonial. Good for adults and older teens comfortable with a standing live house atmosphere.
Good to know
Tickets are sold exclusively through eplus.jp (https://eplus.jp/eightsixlive2026/) — the site accepts foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Club Quattro Hiroshima is a mid-sized live house with a standing floor and a capacity of roughly 500–700; expect a close, energetic atmosphere typical of Japanese live houses. A ¥600 drink charge is mandatory and collected at the door — have cash ready as smaller venues often don't accept cards for this fee. Entry is by numbered ticket (整理番号付), so your place in the queue is pre-assigned; check your number and arrive accordingly rather than queuing from the start. The date — August 6th, the anniversary of the atomic bombing — gives this concert a particular emotional resonance in Hiroshima.
