We are excited to announce “DERENNO!? SAMASONI!? 2026,” an audition project offering artists the chance to perform at SUMMER SONIC 2026.

In last year’s edition, “DERENNO!? SAMASONI!? 2025,” nine artists successfully won performance slots and went on to take the stage at SUMMER SONIC 2025, drawing widespread attention as a true gateway for the next generation of artists.

Artists who make it through the final selection of this project will earn the right to perform at SUMMER SONIC 2026.
The opportunity to stand on the SUMMER SONIC stage could be yours.

There are no restrictions on music genre, style of activity, age, or nationality.
We look forward to bold new talent stepping up to help make this milestone 25th anniversary year even more special.
