The music and art festival NIGHT HIKE 2026 in Makuhari announced its third lineup: 40 artists for a new DJ stage called 3M (MAKUHARI MEGA MIX). Each day, 20 performers get three minutes each for a 60-minute nonstop set. The lineup includes past NIGHT HIKE performers such as Yoshida Yase, KAIRUI, and D.watt.
The new 3M stage at NIGHT HIKE 2026 in Makuhari gives each of its 40 performers exactly three minutes. Twenty artists play each day, passing the music directly to the next act to form a 60-minute nonstop set. Organizer TRIBALCON. describes the format as a large-scale B2B project, where different genres, generations, and performance styles intersect in three-minute blocks.
The lineup leans on NIGHT HIKE veterans. Day 1 on October 31 features D.watt, Genick, KAIRUI, KO3, Reno, and Akuta Renri. Day 2 on November 1 brings Capchii, Mwk, picco, Atatakai Suizokukan, Do-pamin, Natsuyama Yotsugi, Ichinose Lupo, Shoten Taro, and Yoshida Yase.
