Tokyo Just Became The Most Exciting Place To Be This September
Odaiba is already one of the most visually overwhelming places on earth. A manmade island in Tokyo Bay, the Rainbow Bridge lit up behind you, the city skyline glittering across the water in every direction. Now imagine standing in the middle of all of that with Peggy Gou, Zedd b2b Knock2, Sara Landry, Alesso, The Martinez Brothers, Worship, and Yousuke Yukimatsu playing across multiple stages for two days straight.
That is Ultra Japan 2026. September 19 and 20. And if you have not started planning yet, now is the time.
The Japan Festival That Has It All
Ultra Japan brings the legendary production values and superstar energy of the global Ultra brand right into the heart of Tokyo Bay. Taking over the custom built Odaiba Ultra Park, the venue offers stunning, unobstructed views of Tokyo's neon skyline across the water.
What sets the Tokyo edition apart isn't just the massive, immersive audio visual stage setups. It is the unique festival atmosphere. It manages to feel globally minded yet deeply local, electric yet inclusive, inviting seasoned international ravers and Tokyo first timers alike to unite on the dancefloor.
When you need a breather between sets, you can actually kick back on air cushions in open green spaces to recharge before the next bassline hits.
Everyone You Need To See In One Place
Phase 1 is already stacked, successfully bridging the gap between mainstream festival energy and underground credibility.
The Confirmed Phase 1 Lineup:
- Alesso
- Culture Shock
- Dimension
- Peggy Gou
- Sara Landry
- Sub Focus
- The Martinez Brothers
- WORSHIP featuring Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock and 1991
- ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U
- Zedd b2b Knock2
For the house and techno heads, the festival’s iconic, underground focused RESISTANCE curation is incredibly strong this year. Peggy Gou adds a highly credible club music presence to what could easily have been a mainstream only lineup, while tech house heavyweights The Martinez Brothers are guaranteed to bring proper groove to the waterfront.
On the main stage, the Zedd b2b Knock2 pairing is easily one of the most anticipated sets of the weekend, bringing together two generations of dance music in a genuinely unpredictable formula. Alesso arrives with over a decade of peak main stage anthems, while Sara Landry continues her rapid, unstoppable rise as one of the most in demand hard techno names in the world right now.
Rounding out the genre spanning weekend is Worship, the live collaborative project featuring Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock, and 1991, who are currently rewriting the book on live drum and bass. And, of course, there is ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U playing on home soil. The home crowd energy for his set is going to be absolutely insane.
Remember, this is only Phase 1. If previous years are any indication, the additions to follow will only make this bill stronger.
There Is No City On Earth Like Tokyo In September
Most festivals happen in muddy fields. Ultra Japan happens on a futuristic artificial island with one of the most recognizable cityscapes in the world as your backdrop.
Evolved through ambitious landfill projects into Tokyo's showcase of modern innovation, Odaiba is a buzz of tech expos, leisure complexes, sea air, and street food aromas. Crucially, the festival is perfectly timed for mid September, right when Tokyo's brutal summer heat finally breaks, but before the autumn chill sets in. This sweet spot creates an almost magical atmosphere as the sun sets behind the city's glittering towers.
Getting to the venue is incredibly straightforward. It is easily accessible via the Yurikamome and Rinkai transit lines, with gates opening at 10:00 AM and music running until 9:00 PM both days. Haneda Airport is the closest international arrival point, connecting to the venue quickly and directly. September is simply one of the best times of the year to be in Japan. The city is so vibrant that every hour spent outside the festival gates feels like a bonus track.
