New Beginning Fes 2026: A New Musical Journey

Fuji Television is set to make waves in the music scene with the inaugural New Beginning Fes, scheduled for January 4th, 2026, at the Tokyo Garden Theater. This festival marks a fresh start, opening doors to new possibilities and connections through the power of music.

Ever since its conception, New Beginning Fes aims to create a vibrant community where attendees can discover unique musical talents and experiences. The festival’s name signifies a new voyage, inviting everyone who joins to embark on thrilling journeys into the world of music. In May 2025, the festival kickstarted with its first event at the GMO Shibuya Entertainment Festival, followed by a second event in August, which was filmed for a unique special broadcast on Fuji Television, showcasing a seamless blend of live performances and digital media.

As we step into 2026, the excitement and expectation surrounding New Beginning Fes are palpable. This special day is designed not only to entertain but to invigorate a sense of hope and adventure in its audience. Attendees can look forward to witnessing a stellar lineup of diverse artists from various genres, each bringing their own unique flair to the stage.

The festival will feature popular acts like aoen, a seven-member J-Pop boy band who debuted under HYBE's YXLABELS in 2025, and BUDDiiS, a nine-member dance and vocal group associated with Stardust Promotion, comprised of talented individuals from EBiDAN (Ebisu Gakuen Boys' Department). Another highlight includes Lienel, a six-member dance and vocal group from EBiDAN who aspire to strengthen the connection between their fans and themselves.

Moreover, fans of musical theatre can look forward to a special performance from the 2.5-dimensional musical adaptation of The Prince of Tennis and the exciting multinational K-Pop boy band n.SSign, born from a popular youth audition program. Additionally, the four-member group OWV, formed from participants of the 2019 audition show Produce 101 Japan, promise an unforgettable performance filled with energy and charisma.

To elevate the festival atmosphere right from the beginning, the opening act will feature the unique male unit BHNX, who captured hearts on Fuji TV’s talent show BEASTAGE with their raw power and exceptional dance performances.

Holding this festival at the start of the new year is a symbolic gesture of optimism and renewal, encouraging everyone to embrace their own new beginnings. As we anticipate this exciting event, mark your calendar for January 4th, 2026, where music will create bonds and inspire dreams.
