Dive into the Artistic Vibes of MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL 2025

The highly anticipated MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL 2025 promises to be a landmark event this autumn in Tokyo. Set between October 10th and October 13th, 2025, the festival takes center stage in the vibrant area of Tennoz. This year, special attention is granted to the opening live stage, curated by Tribe, a sublabel of Hydeout Productions founded by the legendary Nujabes.

As the sun sets on October 10th, festival-goers will be drawn into an audioscape like no other, featuring a diverse lineup of four talented artists: Nujabes Metaphorical Ensemble (DJ SET), Sonart (Kose Noriko × Ryow a.k.a. Smooth Current), Tribe Sampler Collective, and DJ Quietstorm. Each act seamlessly crosses genres and geographical borders, promising an evening of not just music but an emotional and experimental experience.

An exciting collaboration is also set to take place during the live performance. Yamaguchi Rekishi, who designed the iconic cover for Nujabes's classic track “Other Side of Phase,” will join forces with the Nujabes Metaphorical Ensemble. The collaboration reflects the essence of GOLD WOOD ARTWORKS, Yamaguchi’s art collective, to create a visually stunning narrative that complements the captivating sounds of the ensemble. Expect to see the integration of striking visuals that transform the venue into a vivid tapestry, merging music and art creatively.

Adding another layer to this vibrant experience, SEKIDO Co., Ltd. will showcase breathtaking drone footages that will be projected throughout the event, providing views of the surroundings from above and enhancing the immersive experience.
