INSPIRATION by SUNSETLIVE is a new outdoor music and culture festival carrying forward the spirit of Fukuoka’s long-running SUNSET LIVE. It will be held on October 10 and 11, 2026 at the Light and Wind Plaza in Uminonakamichi Seaside Park.
The venue is part of INN THE PARK Fukuoka in the Saitozaki area. This is outside central Fukuoka, so ticket buyers should plan the return train or bus before the final timetable is released.

A new chapter after SUNSET LIVE
The event links music, food, art and encounters with people in a spacious seaside park. It is inspired by SUNSET LIVE, but uses a new venue and format rather than recreating the former Itoshima festival.
Both days open at 11:00 and begin at 11:30. Festival rules prohibit bringing food, alcoholic drinks and pets; artist photography is not allowed. It is scheduled for rain, but severe weather may cause cancellation.
Artists announced so far
Artists announced for October 10 include MFS and kiki vivi lily. The October 11 list includes AMEMIYA, SKA☆ROCKETS, SO-SO, HIRAIDAI, Blue Vintage and Rickie-G, with more names expected.
The day-by-day timetable has not been included here because it may change. Check the official Instagram and ticket page close to the event.
Getting to Uminonakamichi and preparing
The Light and Wind Plaza is in the western part of Uminonakamichi Seaside Park near INN THE PARK Fukuoka. Central Hakata and Tenjin are not within walking distance. Rail, bus and ferry options have different last departures, so wait for the event access notice before fixing a tight itinerary.
Bring comfortable shoes, sun and rain protection, a charged phone and a mobile battery. Admission includes the park fee, but read the ticket conditions for fees, payment and refunds before applying.
Ticket page, updates and related guides
The second presale is a lottery, not an immediate guarantee of a ticket; results are scheduled from around 18:00 on August 7. After August 6, use the same ticket page to check the general sale rather than trying to enter the closed lottery.
For a broader trip, compare the festival with the full Fukuoka Music Month schedule and the city event calendar.
