Preparing for Extreme Summer Heat at MURO FESTIVAL 2026 with fanqlo's Support

Preparing for the Extreme Summer Heat

As we gear up for the MURO FESTIVAL 2026, taking place at the iconic Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse on July 25 and 26, there is a significant focus on how to keep everyone safe and comfortable amid the intense summer heat. The Tokyo-based company, fanqlo, known for its innovative cooling jackets, has committed to supporting festival staff by providing 100 units of their flagship cooling outerwear: the fanqlo - Unisex Ice White model. This initiative aims to mitigate the risk of heat illness amongst the staff who will be working outside under the blazing sun for extended periods.

The Need for Heat Safety

According to the Japan Fire and Disaster Management Agency, the sweltering summer heat is becoming a pressing concern. From July 6th to 12th, 2026, there were 4,580 reported cases of heat-related illness requiring emergency transport. Among these, 944 involved outdoor activities where heat exposure was significantly high.

While many festivals discuss heat precautions for attendees, the pressing risks faced by operation staff, stationed outside from early setup to late breakdown, have not received adequate attention. At fanqlo, we believe that ensuring a cool and comfortable summer should be a priority for everyone. Thus, we decided to extend our loan of 100 cooling jackets to keep staff protected from the heat during MURO FESTIVAL 2026.
