LuckyFes'25 Audition Results: A New Era for Music

The anticipation for LuckyFes'25 is building as the final selection for the audition "Battle to LuckyFes" has concluded, welcoming three gifted artists to the stage. The finalists, Dreamy Kishimoto, Kiyoka Fukushima, and the energetic group JUGEM, triumphed in a competition that saw an impressive 1,328 song submissions!

Held over the three-day weekend of August 9-11, 2025, at the scenic National Hitachi Seaside Park in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, the final round of auditions occurred on June 15 at Club SONIC in Mito City. From the eight chosen finalists, only these three earned the prestigious opportunity to perform as the opening acts (O.A) at the festival.

The selection process was no easy feat, as the finalists included a diverse lineup of talent, narrowed down through rigorous audio and video screenings. The respected panel of judges featured notable figures including DJ DRAGON, the producer of LuckyFes, and various representatives from LuckyFM and TuneCore Japan, alongside audience voting from 150 enthusiastic fans.

DJ DRAGON expressed his heartfelt gratitude to all artists who participated, emphasizing the excitement in the sold-out venue, filled with cheers and encouragement. Each performance was captivating and impactful, making the judging decision a challenging task due to the high caliber of talent displayed.
