A Genre-Bending Tokyo Music Festival at MoN Takanawa
An international art, music and technology festival is launching at MoN Takanawa in Takanawa Gateway City next weekend. Organized by media artist Daito Manabe and Beatink, Future Frequencies Festival 2026 has expanded its program to include a third space called Tatami, interactive installations and exclusive festival merchandise.
Wristband exchange begins at 14:30 each day, with doors opening at 15:30.
Day 1: Saturday, July 11
On Day 1, London-based pioneer Joy Orbison redefines the dance music landscape as the night’s headliner.
Joining him is the legendary 90s group The Sabres of Paradise making a rare appearance with a special Club Set, alongside a cutting-edge real-time 3D and motion-capture audio/visual performance by Nosaj Thing × Daito Manabe.
Adding to the lineup is North London electronic producer Loraine James, fresh off the release of her acclaimed album Detached From The Rest Of You, bringing her unpredictable, genre-crossing sonics.
Renowned pianist and composer Marihiko Hara will deliver his signature strength within stillness, blending acoustic piano, field recordings and electronic textures.
Rounding out the additions is Seoul’s rising producer/DJ Mount XLR, whose innovative fusion of UK garage, jungle, and bass music earned him Best Electronic Song at the 2025 Korean Music Awards.
The newly announced Tatami space will host a rare short film screening and talk by anime director Shinichiro Watanabe, alongside an artist talk featuring Loraine James and Daito Manabe.
Day 2: Sunday, July 12
On Day 2, the explosive pop and jazz-funk universe of Knower dominates the stage with a full band show.
They are joined by Grammy-nominated mastermind Kassa Overall, who deconstructs jazz and hip-hop, and Hakushi Hasegawa, Japan’s brilliant musical maverick signed to Brainfeeder.
Joining the Sunday roster is YPY, the brilliant electronic solo project of Koshiro Hino, who effortlessly blurs the lines between dancefloor energy and avant-garde noise, fresh off winning the 26th Keizo Saji Prize (2025).
Papua New Guinea-born, Tokyo-based saxophonist and composer Kei Matsumaru will also bring his boundary-pushing improvisation and electronics to the stage, following the recent success of his solo LP Dokuso, YuYu.
The newly announced Tatami space hosts a screening of Shinichiro Watanabe’s film and a music culture talk by Nick Dwyer. Throughout the weekend, attendees can experience interactive installations including Yoshirotten’s “Sunbient Game” and the “Transformirror FFF ver.” by Daito Manabe and Kyle McDonald.
