NIGHT HIKE 2026 in Makuhari is a two-day music and art festival set for October 31 and November 1, 2026, at Makuhari Messe Exhibition Halls 9 and 11 in Chiba. The lineup has grown to over 100 acts across two days, with the latest announcement adding 40 artists for a new DJ stage called 3M.
NIGHT HIKE 2026 in Makuhari is the festival's first edition at Makuhari Messe, a scale-up from its 2023 start at Shibuya WOMB. The event runs October 31 and November 1 at Exhibition Halls 9 and 11 in Chiba, with a cross-genre lineup spanning Vocaloid, VTubers, and club music. The first wave, announced with the key visual, listed around 50 acts from a total of over 100 performers across the two days.
A second wave on July 24 brought the total to 47 acts, including Kaf, Kizuna AI, Shinichi Osawa, Sasuke Haraguchi, and Kento Kocchi. The daily lineup was set: Day 1 features DUSTCELL, muque, and Kairiki Bear; Day 2 includes Kaf, Kizuna AI, Shinichi Osawa, PinocchioP, and Natori Sana. The second wave also added Utsu-P meet siinamota, a tribute project for the 10th anniversary of Vocaloid producer siinamota's passing, with Utsu-P as bandmaster and singer Sou as guest vocalist.
The third lineup, announced in August, added 40 artists for a new DJ stage called 3M (MAKUHARI MEGA MIX). Each day, 20 performers play three-minute sets for a 60-minute nonstop relay, drawing almost entirely from past NIGHT HIKE performers such as Yoshida Yase, KAIRUI, and D.watt. The DJ unit JAMBORIDE, formed by BANVOX and SEKITOVA, is also on the bill for November 1, part of a limited restart after three years that includes a clubasia event in Shibuya on August 15 and new music in production.
