What to expect in 2026

Dabda Japan Tour [On] 2026 Japan brings the South Korean four-piece indie and math rock band Dabda to Japan for three performances in October 2026. The tour will visit Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, giving Japanese audiences the opportunity to experience Dabda’s intricate arrangements and energetic live performance in intimate live-house settings.

The tour takes its name from Dabda’s second album, On (百), released as part of the band’s 2026 musical activity. The album continues the group’s distinctive approach to complex rhythms, layered guitars, dynamic arrangements and emotionally expressive melodies. The Japan tour is part of Dabda’s wider 2026 world tour, which also includes performances across Asia and North America.

The Japanese leg consists of three shows:

• October 6, 2026 – LIVE HOUSE FEVER, Tokyo
• October 7, 2026 – CLUB ROCK’N’ROLL, Nagoya
• October 9, 2026 – CONPASS, Osaka

Each performance will feature Dabda with a different Japanese guest artist. Tokyo will feature ayutthaya, Nagoya will feature REGA, and Osaka will feature HOME.

Dabda’s live sound is rooted in math rock and post-rock, with intricate guitar interplay, shifting rhythms, expressive vocals and carefully constructed arrangements. The small live-house venues selected for this tour provide an environment where the details of the band’s playing can be experienced at close range.

Event dates

The 2026 Japanese tour consists of three separate performances across three cities.

• October 6, 2026: Tokyo – LIVE HOUSE FEVER
• October 7, 2026: Nagoya – CLUB ROCK’N’ROLL
• October 9, 2026: Osaka – CONPASS

All three performances are scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM, with doors opening at 6:30 PM. The Tokyo and Nagoya shows are listed as 6:30 PM doors and 7:00 PM start, while the Osaka performance has the same opening and starting times.

The three-city schedule gives fans in different parts of Japan the chance to attend without having to travel to Tokyo. The short gaps between the dates also make the tour suitable for dedicated fans who want to follow more than one performance.

Venue & festival site

The Tokyo performance will take place at LIVE HOUSE FEVER in Shin-Daita, Tokyo. The venue is an established live-music space used for rock, alternative, indie and other contemporary performances.

The second show will be held at Nagoya CLUB ROCK’N’ROLL in Aichi Prefecture. The venue is part of Nagoya’s independent live-music circuit and provides another intimate setting for Dabda’s Japanese tour.

The final performance will take place at CONPASS in Shinsaibashi, Osaka. The Osaka venue regularly hosts alternative, rock and independent artists and will provide the setting for the tour’s final Japanese performance.

This is not an outdoor festival with a large festival site. Each date is a club-style concert in an indoor live house, with the audience primarily experiencing the performances from the standing floor.

Full lineup

Dabda is the main touring act across all three Japanese dates.

The guest lineup changes by city:

• Tokyo: Dabda with ayutthaya
• Nagoya: Dabda with REGA
• Osaka: Dabda with HOME

The guest artists were officially announced by GREENS, the event organizer, as part of the Japan tour program.

Dabda consists of four members:

• Kim Jiae – vocals and guitar
• Park Jungwoong – guitar
• Noh Keohyun – bass
• Lee Seunghyun – drums

The four-piece lineup combines two guitars with bass and drums, creating the layered and rhythmically complex sound associated with the band.

Headliners & featured artists

Dabda is the headline act for the Japan Tour [On] performances. The Korean band has been active since its debut EP Island of Each in 2016 and released its first full-length album, But, All The Shining Things Are, in 2020. Its subsequent releases have included Jungle Gym in 2021 and the EP #Yonder# in 2023.

The band’s 2026 second album, On (百), expands its approach to math rock while incorporating stronger melodic and dynamic elements. The album includes tracks such as “Tongue,” “Choo-Choo,” “DDDD!,” “ON(百),” “Circle,” “Dear Hope,” “Searching for Kevin,” “tomato” and “Playing Winter.”

The guest artists add a different Japanese perspective to each tour stop. Tokyo’s ayutthaya, Nagoya’s REGA and Osaka’s HOME each bring their own sound to the respective evenings.

Stages & performance areas

The tour uses one principal performance stage at each live house.

Unlike a large outdoor festival, there are no separate main, electronic, acoustic or secondary stages. The evening is structured around the guest performance followed by Dabda’s headline set.

The live-house format is particularly suited to Dabda’s music because the audience is positioned relatively close to the performers. Complex guitar parts, bass lines, drum patterns and vocal sections can be experienced without the distance associated with a large arena.

The general performance environment includes:

• Main live-house stage
• Standing audience area
• Artist equipment and backline
• Professional lighting
• Live sound system
• Guest performance area
• Dabda headline performance area

The exact stage layout can vary between FEVER, CLUB ROCK’N’ROLL and CONPASS according to each venue’s individual configuration.

Stage-by-stage schedule

The official information confirms the performance times but does not publish a complete song-by-song running order. The three shows are structured around a guest artist followed by Dabda.

Tokyo – October 6

The Tokyo show at LIVE HOUSE FEVER will feature ayutthaya as the guest artist before Dabda’s headline performance. Doors open at 6:30 PM and the performance begins at 7:00 PM.

Nagoya – October 7

The Nagoya performance at CLUB ROCK’N’ROLL features REGA. The published schedule lists doors at 6:30 PM and the show beginning at 7:00 PM.

Osaka – October 9

The Osaka performance at CONPASS features HOME. Doors open at 6:30 PM, with the performance starting at 7:00 PM.

The precise order of individual songs should be confirmed on the night because concert setlists can change between performances.

Set times

The confirmed schedule for the Japanese tour is:

• Tokyo, October 6: Doors 6:30 PM / Start 7:00 PM
• Nagoya, October 7: Doors 6:30 PM / Start 7:00 PM
• Osaka, October 9: Doors 6:30 PM / Start 7:00 PM

The published information does not provide an official finishing time. Because each evening includes a guest performance and Dabda’s main set, visitors should allow several hours for the complete program.

The event listing information describes the shows as live-house performances rather than short festival appearances, so fans should avoid arranging transportation immediately after the expected start time.

Ticket types

Tickets are available in standing format for the Japan tour.

The published standard ticket price is ¥5,500, equivalent to approximately $35 USD using a recent exchange rate. The U-22 ticket is ¥3,500, approximately $22 USD. The organizer lists these as standing admission tickets.

The U-22 category is specifically intended for attendees aged 22 or younger on the day of the performance. A valid photo identification document confirming age must be presented when entering. If the required identification cannot be shown, the organizer states that the difference in ticket price may be collected.

Tickets are limited to four per person according to the published Osaka event information. A separate drink charge is required at the venue.

VIP & premium options

No VIP seating or premium package has been announced for the 2026 Japan Tour [On].

The Japanese performances are presented as standing live-house shows, with standard general admission and U-22 admission categories rather than an arena-style VIP seating system.

International visitors can also use the designated overseas ticket channel. The organizer’s information lists TicketMe for overseas residents, with international ticket holders entering alongside domestic ticket holders.

Fans should rely on the official ticket channels for any later announcements regarding merchandise, early entry or other special benefits.

Event rules

The tour has several important ticket and admission conditions.

U-22 identification: Attendees using U-22 tickets must be 22 or younger on the performance date and should bring a valid photo ID proving their age. Failure to present suitable identification may result in payment of the price difference.

Standing admission: The published tickets are standing tickets. Entry is handled according to the assigned admission sequence or number rather than a conventional reserved-seat arrangement.

Drink charge: A separate drink charge is required at the venue.

Ticket limit: The published Osaka information specifies a maximum of four tickets per person.

International entry: Japanese domestic tickets and overseas-resident tickets are scheduled for parallel entry, according to the organizer’s published information.

Fans should also follow the individual venue’s rules concerning photography, recording, bags, smoking and prohibited items.

How to get there

Each tour date takes place in a major Japanese city with extensive public transportation.

For the Tokyo show, LIVE HOUSE FEVER is located in the Shin-Daita area. Visitors can use the railway network to reach Shin-Daita and then walk to the venue.

For Nagoya, CLUB ROCK’N’ROLL is located in the city’s independent music district and can be reached using Nagoya’s subway and local railway network.

The Osaka show takes place at CONPASS in the Shinsaibashi area, one of Osaka’s major entertainment and shopping districts. The area is well connected by Osaka Metro services.

Fans attending multiple tour dates should consider using Japan’s rail network rather than renting a car, particularly because all three venues are in dense urban areas.

Public transport & parking

Public transportation is the recommended option for all three performances.

Tokyo: Shin-Daita is served by the Keio Inokashira Line, making the venue accessible from central Tokyo via rail connections.

Nagoya: CLUB ROCK’N’ROLL can be reached using Nagoya’s extensive subway network, with visitors able to connect from Nagoya Station and other central districts.

Osaka: CONPASS is located around Shinsaibashi, where Osaka Metro services provide convenient access from Osaka Station, Namba and other major areas.

Parking availability varies around each venue and is not presented as part of the official concert admission information. Fans should use nearby commercial parking only if necessary and allow additional time for finding a space.

For visitors attending the Osaka show, public transportation is especially practical because Shinsaibashi has numerous railway and subway connections.

Accommodation areas

Fans following the entire Japanese tour can choose accommodation near each individual performance.

Tokyo: Shinjuku and Shibuya provide extensive accommodation and convenient connections toward Shin-Daita. Shimokitazawa is another useful area for visitors who want to stay close to Tokyo’s independent music and nightlife scene.

Nagoya: Staying around Nagoya Station provides convenient access to the city’s rail and subway network. Sakae is another popular base with numerous hotels, restaurants and entertainment options.

Osaka: Shinsaibashi and Namba are particularly convenient for the October 9 performance at CONPASS. Both areas offer many hotels, restaurants and late-evening transportation options.

Fans attending all three dates can travel between Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka by Shinkansen. Because the performances are only separated by short intervals, advance accommodation planning is useful.

Food & drink

The three venues are located in busy urban areas with extensive food and drink choices.

Tokyo’s Shin-Daita and nearby Shimokitazawa are known for restaurants, cafés, bars and casual dining. Fans can easily find food before the performance.

Nagoya’s central neighborhoods provide a wide variety of restaurants, including local specialties, while the area around CLUB ROCK’N’ROLL has numerous casual dining options.

Osaka’s Shinsaibashi area offers particularly extensive choices, from quick meals and convenience stores to restaurants and late-night dining.

A separate drink charge is required at the concert venues, so attendees should be prepared for this additional venue requirement.

Because these are standing live-house performances, eating a proper meal before joining the entry queue can be more comfortable than waiting until after the show.

Accessibility

Accessibility arrangements can vary considerably between individual live houses, particularly because smaller music venues may have different entrances, stairs, floor layouts and facilities.

Visitors who require wheelchair access or other assistance should contact the relevant venue or organizer before the performance. This is especially important for standing events where the general audience area can become crowded.

Fans should also consider the complete route from the railway station to the venue and communicate any accessibility requirements in advance.

For visitors with mobility needs, arriving early can make entry procedures easier and provide more time to speak with venue staff about available arrangements.

Best days to attend

The best date depends on the city and guest artist a fan wants to see because each Japanese performance has a different supporting act.

October 6 – Tokyo: The Tokyo show features ayutthaya as the guest artist and takes place at LIVE HOUSE FEVER.

October 7 – Nagoya: The Nagoya show features REGA at CLUB ROCK’N’ROLL.

October 9 – Osaka: The final Japanese performance features HOME at CONPASS. The Osaka show is also promoted as part of the MINAMI WHEEL ASIAN WAVES NIGHT program.

Fans who want to experience the full Japanese tour can potentially attend all three performances, with October 8 providing a travel day between Nagoya and Osaka.

Previous year’s highlights

Dabda’s development leading into the 2026 tour is closely connected with the band’s progression from the Korean independent music scene into international touring.

The group debuted with the EP Island of Each in 2016 and subsequently developed its sound through live performances and releases. The band’s first full-length album, But, All The Shining Things Are, arrived in 2020, followed by Jungle Gym in 2021 and the EP #Yonder# in 2023.

By 2026, Dabda had expanded its international activity through performances across Asia and other regions. The release of the second album On (百) accompanies the band’s 2026 world tour, with Japan forming an important three-city section of the itinerary.

The new album contains nine tracks, including “Tongue,” “Choo-Choo,” “DDDD!,” “ON(百),” “Circle,” “Dear Hope,” “Searching for Kevin,” “tomato” and “Playing Winter.” The record has been described as maintaining the band’s complex ensemble approach while increasing its dynamic and melodic qualities.

The 2026 Japanese tour therefore provides an opportunity to hear material from the new album alongside music from earlier stages of Dabda’s catalog.

Official tickets

Official tickets for the Japan tour are distributed through Japanese ticketing platforms and a dedicated overseas ticket channel.

The published standard ticket price is approximately $35 USD, while the U-22 ticket is approximately $22 USD. These figures are conversions of the published Japanese prices and may vary slightly according to exchange-rate fluctuations and ticketing fees.

International visitors can use the dedicated overseas ticket channel listed by the organizer. Domestic and overseas ticket holders are scheduled for parallel entry.

The official ticket information should be checked for the latest availability, admission conditions and any event-specific updates.
