K-pop Concert Calendar Japan July-December 2026

If you've ever refreshed a ticketing site at midnight with your heart racing, you already know the feeling: there's nothing quite like the moment a kpop concert lineup drops and you realize your favorite group is finally coming to Japan. The second half of 2026 is stacked, with EXO, LE SSERAFIM, Stray Kids, BOYNEXTDOOR, BIGBANG, ENHYPEN, and T.O.P all confirmed across Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya between July and December.

This kpop concert calendar pulls together what's confirmed so far. As always with concert kpop schedules, dates and lineups can shift, so treat this as your starting point and double-check official ticketing platforms like Lawson Ticket, e+ (eplus), and Pia before you lock in flights or kpop concert tickets.

K-pop Concert Calendar: July–December 2026 at a Glance

Dates above reflect the latest available reporting; always confirm on-sale details before booking.

Osaka: Four Big Nights on the Kansai Concert Map

Osaka is arguably the easiest city on this list to build a trip around. FEARNOT opens the run as LE SSERAFIM plays Osaka-jo Hall in July, DOBBYs follow in September at the same venue, and STAY packs Kyocera Dome later that month for Stray Kids' "RUN IT." VIPs close out November with three nights at Kyocera Dome as BIGBANG marks their 20th anniversary tour.

Long-time fan or catching one of these groups live for the first time, Osaka's lineup makes for an easy entry point. Travelodge Osaka Shinsaibashi and Travelodge Honmachi Osaka are both comfortable, centrally located bases for hopping between these venues — browse all Osaka properties or check our guide to affordable hotels in Osaka.

Nagoya: A Quieter Base With Three Major Dome Shows

Nagoya doesn't always make the first cut for K-pop trip planning, but it should. STAY packs Vantelin Dome Nagoya in September for Stray Kids' "RUN IT," VIPs return in December as BIGBANG plays the same dome, and ENGENE closes out the year there too as ENHYPEN wraps its "BLOOD SAGA" tour. Nagoya also sits conveniently between Tokyo and Osaka on the Shinkansen line, making it a great low-key home base if this is your first K-pop trip to Japan and you're still finding your footing between cities.

Travelodge Nagoya Sakae puts you close to the action — browse all Nagoya properties or check our guide to family hotels in Nagoya if you're bringing the whole fandom along.

Tokyo and Chiba: The Big Arena Nights

EXO-L kicks off the season as EXO opens at LaLa arena Tokyo-Bay in Chiba in July. STAY returns for a two-night Stray Kids stadium show at Japan National Stadium in August, T.O.P brings his first solo fan meeting tour to Toyota Arena in November, and ENGENE welcomes ENHYPEN's "BLOOD SAGA" launch with two nights at Tokyo Dome in December.

Planning Your K-pop Trip to Japan

With acts like EXO, LE SSERAFIM, Stray Kids, BOYNEXTDOOR, BIGBANG, ENHYPEN, and T.O.P all touring Japan in the second half of 2026, the real challenge is deciding which shows to build a trip around.
