TOMAKOMAI MIRAI FEST 2027, Japan

What to expect in 2027

TOMAKOMAI MIRAI FEST 2027 is expected to return to Tomakomai, Hokkaido, as a large-scale entertainment festival combining live music, local culture, food, art, dance, technology and regional attractions. The festival takes place at Kirakira Park, a waterfront location overlooking Tomakomai Port, giving the event a distinctive open-air setting.

The festival began in 2022 and has developed around the idea of connecting Tomakomai’s local character with entertainment and cultural experiences. Rather than focusing only on music, the event brings together several different areas, allowing visitors to enjoy concerts alongside food, performances, community activities, technology-related displays and other attractions.

The 2027 edition is scheduled for September 2027, although the exact dates, artists, timetable and ticket details are still to be announced. The official 2027 program should therefore be checked before making travel arrangements.

The most recent edition provides a useful indication of the festival’s scale and format. The 2026 event marked the festival’s fifth anniversary and attracted approximately 23,000 visitors over its two-day program. It featured a major music stage, additional entertainment stages, food, GX-related activities, dance performances and other cultural programming.

The festival’s waterfront setting is one of its defining characteristics. Kirakira Park is positioned beside Tomakomai Port, creating a broad outdoor environment where visitors can combine live performances with views across the harbor.

The event is also designed to promote Tomakomai itself. Local food, businesses, performers and community organizations are incorporated into the festival, making the event as much a showcase of the city as a conventional music festival.

For 2027, visitors can expect the organizers to continue developing the combination of music and regional entertainment. The exact artist lineup and additional attractions will be announced closer to the event.

The festival has traditionally been organized as a multi-day event, with the main program distributed across several stages and areas. The 2026 edition used a two-day format, and the organizers have announced a return to Tomakomai for the 2027 edition.

Venue & festival site

TOMAKOMAI MIRAI FEST is held at Kirakira Park in Tomakomai, Hokkaido. The festival site is located beside Tomakomai Port, giving the event an open waterfront atmosphere that distinguishes it from urban indoor music festivals.

The 2026 edition used Kirakira Park as its central festival location, with the site divided into different entertainment areas. The main music program was presented at the Tomachopp Stage, while the Huskapp Stage and W Curry Stage provided additional entertainment. The free areas also incorporated food, dance and GX-related activities.

The location is:

Kirakira Park
3-1 Irifunecho, Tomakomai, Hokkaido, Japan

The park’s position near the port provides plenty of open space for outdoor stages, food vendors and visitor facilities.

The festival environment is expected to include designated performance areas, food and beverage areas, information facilities, merchandise areas and community-focused attractions. The precise 2027 site map will be released by the organizers when preparations progress.

Because the festival takes place outdoors, visitors should prepare for changing Hokkaido weather conditions. Comfortable footwear, weather-appropriate clothing and protection from rain or wind can be useful.

Full lineup

The full TOMAKOMAI MIRAI FEST 2027 lineup has not yet been announced.

The organizers are expected to reveal artists in multiple announcement rounds, following the approach used for recent editions. The 2026 program was gradually expanded through several artist announcements and eventually featured performers from a wide range of musical styles and generations.

The most recent edition included the following major artists:

• Atarashii Gakko!
• TRF
• FRUITS ZIPPER
• CUTIE STREET
• Kageyama Hironobu, Endoh Masaaki and Kitadani Hiroshi
• Monaki
• Maki Oguro
• CANDY TUNE
• Crazy Ken Band
• Kocchi no Kento
• SUGIZO
• SWEET STEADY
• MORE STAR
• fav me

These names are provided as the previous-edition reference rather than a confirmed 2027 lineup.

The 2027 program may include a mixture of nationally recognized performers, Hokkaido-based artists, emerging acts, idol groups, bands, DJs and performers from other entertainment fields.

The official lineup should be treated as subject to change until the festival organizers publish the completed 2027 program.

Headliners & featured artists

No official 2027 headliners have been announced yet.

The festival’s previous programming shows that the main music stage can accommodate performers from very different musical backgrounds. The 2026 edition featured major names including Atarashii Gakko!, TRF, FRUITS ZIPPER, Maki Oguro, Crazy Ken Band, CANDY TUNE, SUGIZO and Kocchi no Kento.

The 2026 closing performance on the main Tomachopp Stage was delivered by Maki Oguro, while the previous day’s program included performances by TRF and Atarashii Gakko!.

The festival also places importance on artists connected with Hokkaido and regional culture. This helps create a program that combines major Japanese entertainment names with local and emerging talent.

For 2027, featured artists and headliners should be announced through the official festival website and subsequent organizer announcements.

Stages & performance areas

The festival traditionally uses several distinct areas rather than relying on one stage.

Tomachopp Stage

The Tomachopp Stage is the main paid-area music stage. It hosts nationally recognized artists and major live performances and serves as the principal concert area of the festival. In the latest edition, it featured artists from pop, idol, rock, dance and mainstream Japanese music.

Huskapp Stage

The Huskapp Stage provides a more varied entertainment program. Previous editions have included Hokkaido-based artists, entertainers, comedy, idol performances and other forms of live entertainment. This stage helps broaden the festival beyond conventional music programming.

W Curry Stage

The W Curry Stage is located within the free area and has been used for community-focused entertainment, local food, dance performances and GX-related activities. Previous programming included the MIRAI DANCE SHOWCASE and other interactive content.

GX and future-focused areas

The festival also incorporates technology and environmental themes. Recent editions have included GX-related displays and activities designed to introduce visitors to future-oriented technologies and sustainability concepts.

The exact stage names, layouts and additional areas for 2027 will be confirmed in the official site map.

Stage-by-stage schedule

The detailed 2027 stage schedule has not yet been announced.

The festival’s previous format suggests that the main Tomachopp Stage will carry the largest concentration of headline music performances, while the Huskapp Stage and free areas will provide additional entertainment throughout the festival.

The 2026 program demonstrated how the stages could complement one another. While major music performances took place at the Tomachopp Stage, visitors could also watch dance performances, comedy, regional entertainment and other activities elsewhere around the festival site.

A future 2027 schedule is expected to include:

• Main music performances
• Regional artists
• Idol and pop performances
• Dance showcases
• Comedy and entertainment
• Community activities
• GX and technology-related programming
• Food and cultural activities

Once the timetable is released, visitors should compare the stage schedules carefully because some performances may overlap.

Set times

Individual 2027 set times have not yet been announced.

The previous edition used a full-day schedule, with the festival operating across multiple areas. The 2026 event was planned around a broad daytime-to-evening program, with music and entertainment continuing throughout the day.

The main stage schedule typically progresses from opening performances and supporting acts toward larger featured performances later in the program.

Visitors planning to see several artists should leave enough time between performances for walking across the site, buying food or drinks and moving through audience areas.

The official timetable will be the definitive source for 2027 performance times. Artists, set times and performance content can also change because of production requirements, weather or other circumstances.

Ticket types

The 2027 ticket prices have not yet been announced.

For reference, the previous edition offered several admission categories. The general two-day pass was approximately $101.27 USD, while the general one-day pass was approximately $62.66 USD, based on the previous-edition prices and an approximate exchange rate of ¥158 to $1.

Previous-edition discounted categories included:

• General two-day admission: approximately $101.27 USD

These prices are provided only as a previous-edition reference. The 2027 prices may be different.

VIP & premium options

The festival has offered premium experiences in previous editions, and a Family VIP ticket was available for the latest edition.

The Family VIP option provided access to a designated Family VIP area associated with the paid Tomachopp Stage area. The previous-edition Family VIP offering was designed for two people, with young children who did not require their own seat excluded from the headcount under the stated conditions.

The previous edition also offered an official JTB access tour that included an exclusive priority viewing area for tour participants. The designated viewing area was positioned toward the front section of the Tomachopp Stage audience area.

No 2027 VIP pricing or premium package has been announced yet.

Potential 2027 premium options may include a Family VIP area or access-tour packages if the organizers repeat these offerings, but visitors should wait for official confirmation before assuming that these products will return.

Event rules

Visitors should review the official terms and conditions before attending.

Important rules from previous editions include keeping admission wristbands secure after entry. The festival has stated that lost or damaged wristbands are not reissued, so visitors should keep them on throughout the event period.

Other practical rules include:

• Follow staff instructions throughout the festival.
• Keep personal belongings under control.
• Observe restrictions regarding photography and recording where applicable.
• Follow designated entry and exit routes.
• Respect stage-area capacity and security procedures.
• Check weather-related announcements before traveling.
• Keep wristbands secure after receiving them.
• Follow separate rules for VIP and premium areas.
• Children attending discounted ticket areas must meet the relevant eligibility conditions.
• Check the latest official information for prohibited items and venue-specific restrictions.

Because the event is outdoors, organizers may modify or cancel some programming because of severe weather or other circumstances.

How to get there

Kirakira Park is located in the waterfront area of Tomakomai.

Visitors arriving by train can travel to Tomakomai Station and then continue by local bus or taxi. The festival site is several kilometers from the station, making public transportation or a dedicated event shuttle more practical than walking for many visitors.

The previous official access information listed Tomakomai Station as approximately 2.8 kilometers from the venue, with a walking time of around 38 minutes.

Visitors traveling by car can reach the venue through the regional highway network. Previous event information indicated that the Tomakomai Chuo Interchange on the Hokkaido Expressway was around 10 minutes from the venue, while the Numanohata-nishi Interchange on the Hidaka Expressway was around 20 minutes away.

Tomakomai’s western ferry terminal is also relatively close to Kirakira Park, making the festival convenient for travelers arriving by ferry.

Public transport & parking

Public transportation is recommended for visitors who do not need to drive.

Previous festival information listed several bus stops serving the area around Kirakira Park. Funami 2-chome is approximately 600 meters from the venue, while Nishifuto-dori and other stops are also within walking distance.

The festival has also operated shuttle transportation between Tomakomai Station and the festival site in previous editions. The organizers have used dedicated shuttle services to make arrival easier during the busiest festival periods.

Parking has been available through designated festival-related parking areas in previous editions. The latest edition offered a designated parking ticket, with the previous A parking option priced at approximately $28.48 USD based on the published ¥4,500 price.

The 2027 parking arrangements and prices have not yet been announced.

Accommodation areas

Tomakomai city center is the most convenient accommodation base for visitors who want easy access to the festival.

The area around Tomakomai Station offers hotels, restaurants, convenience stores and transport connections. It is particularly useful for visitors arriving by train.

The waterfront and port districts provide another option for travelers who prefer to remain close to the festival location.

Visitors traveling from outside Hokkaido may also consider staying in Sapporo and using an organized access service if available. The previous edition offered official JTB access tours connecting Sapporo with the festival, including accommodation packages and transportation.

However, staying in Tomakomai can reduce travel time on festival days and make it easier to remain at the venue until the end of the program.

Accommodation should be reserved early once the 2027 dates are officially confirmed, especially if major headline artists are announced.

Food & drink

Food is an important part of TOMAKOMAI MIRAI FEST.

The festival promotes Tomakomai and Hokkaido through local food and regional culinary experiences. Previous editions included numerous food trucks and food booths, giving visitors opportunities to sample different dishes while remaining close to the entertainment areas.

The festival has also promoted local specialties and food businesses as part of its wider regional tourism concept.

The free festival areas are particularly useful for visitors who want to experience the food and community side of the event without spending the entire day inside the paid music area.

Cashless payment has also been encouraged at festival food trucks, drink bars and merchandise locations in previous editions.

For 2027, the exact food vendors and menus will be announced closer to the festival.

Accessibility

TOMAKOMAI MIRAI FEST takes place in a large outdoor park, providing an open festival environment rather than a conventional indoor venue.

Visitors with mobility requirements should check the official site map and accessibility information once the 2027 layout is released.

Because the site includes outdoor paths, stage areas, food zones and temporary festival facilities, conditions may vary depending on weather and ground conditions.

Visitors requiring accessible transportation, seating or assistance should contact the organizers before attending. This is particularly useful for visitors traveling from outside Japan who may need to arrange transportation in advance.

The festival’s broad open-air setting can provide more flexibility than a compact indoor venue, but visitors should still consider walking distances and weather conditions when planning their day.

Best days to attend

The 2027 festival is expected to use a multi-day format, but the final daily program has not yet been announced.

Once the lineup is released, visitors should compare the artist distribution between the festival days before purchasing a one-day ticket.

A multi-day pass is likely to be useful for visitors who want to experience the festival’s different entertainment areas and see a wider range of artists.

For music-focused visitors, the day featuring their preferred headliners will naturally be the most relevant. Visitors interested in local culture, food, dance and GX activities may prefer to spend additional time exploring the free areas.

Families may also want to consider the day and program schedule carefully if Family VIP or child-friendly entertainment options are offered again.

Previous year’s highlights

The latest edition was the festival’s fifth anniversary and attracted approximately 23,000 visitors across its two-day program. It combined music with food, art, dance, technology and regional entertainment at Kirakira Park.

The Tomachopp Stage featured major artists throughout the festival. The opening program included MORE STAR and Monaki, followed by performances from Kageyama Hironobu, Endoh Masaaki and Kitadani Hiroshi, CUTIE STREET and FRUITS ZIPPER.

TRF delivered a major performance featuring songs including “BOY MEETS GIRL,” “EZ DO DANCE” and “survival dAnce.” Atarashii Gakko! closed the first day’s main-stage program with a high-energy performance.

The second day featured SWEET STEADY, Kocchi no Kento, Crazy Ken Band, SUGIZO, CANDY TUNE and Maki Oguro.

SUGIZO also performed with Maki Oguro during “ENDLESS ～時を超えて～,” creating one of the notable collaborations of the festival. Maki Oguro then closed the main stage with songs including “熱くなれ,” “夏が来る” and “あなただけ見つめてる.”

Beyond the main concerts, the festival included comedy, dance, local performers, food and GX-related programming. The W Curry Stage hosted the MIRAI DANCE SHOWCASE and other community activities, while the Huskapp Stage provided additional entertainment.

The combination of major Japanese artists and local cultural programming remains one of the defining characteristics of TOMAKOMAI MIRAI FEST.
