Organizers of Fuji Rock Festival have unveiled the 2026 lineup, with headliners including The xx, Khruangbin, and Massive Attack. The announcement in Shibuya attracted an excited crowd, revealing 66 acts. The festival is set for July 24 to 26 at Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata Prefecture.
Over 100 people gathered outside the Modi Building in Shibuya, emitting excited “whoas” and applause as artists' names appeared on the building's video screen. When British dance duo Basement Jaxx's name popped up, one woman exclaimed, “Yabai (This is crazy)!” This formed part of the lineup announcement for Fuji Rock Festival 2026, which also includes Fujii Kaze and Asian Kung-Fu Generation.
Headliners are minimalist rock trio The xx, eclectic psychedelic outfit Khruangbin, and pioneering trip-hop group Massive Attack. The festival will take place, as usual, from July 24 to 26 at Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata Prefecture. Among the 66 acts unveiled are performers across J-pop, K-pop, rap, and electronica genres.
