HYPER JAPAN Festival 2026

HYPER JAPAN Festival 2026 returns to Olympia London in July, bringing together a wide range of contemporary Japanese culture across music, anime, fashion, food, gaming and technology.

Launched in 2010, HYPER JAPAN is the UK’s largest J-culture event, featuring a mix of live performances, exhibitions, workshops and talks, alongside appearances from artists, creators and exhibitors from Japan and beyond. The festival attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year and has become a key fixture in the UK’s Japanese culture calendar.

Live music will once again form part of the programme, with QUEEN BEE confirmed as the first music act for the 2026 edition. Further artists and programme details are expected to be announced in the coming months.
