SYNAPSE FESTIVAL brings music together with art, nature and physical expression. The official website announces October 2–4, 2026, but as of August 3 it has not published the 2026 venue, lineup, ticket prices, timetable or access information.
The site also contains detailed material from the 2025 edition. Use that only to understand the festival’s concept—not as confirmed travel information for 2026.
- Confirmed dates: October 2–4, 2026
- Venue, performers, tickets and access: not yet announced

What the 2025 archive tells us
In 2025, the event was presented on Nokonoshima as an immersive two-day festival crossing music, art, nature and movement under the phrase ‘Be a dancer in your life.’ That gives a useful sense of the creative direction.
However, the 2026 edition may use a different venue, number of days, ticket structure or accommodation model. Details below a 2025 heading are historical, even when the page also displays 2026 dates at the top.
Do not assume the venue or ferry route
Nokonoshima requires a ferry from Meinohama and careful attention to the last return sailing. Because the 2026 venue is unannounced, visitors should not yet reserve ferry-linked plans, camping or nearby accommodation on the assumption that the festival returns to the island.
The same caution applies to old parking tickets, shuttle information and camp rules.
Information to check after the next announcement
After the next announcement, check the exact venue, nearest transport, final departure after the last performance, artists by date, opening and closing times, ticket types, age rules, re-entry, rain policy and refund conditions.
International visitors should also check whether the ticket platform accepts overseas cards and phone numbers, and whether camping equipment or food can be brought into the site.
Official and related Fukuoka music links
The official site is the only confirmed source for the 2026 release. Fukuoka Music Month provides the wider autumn schedule; the music category and event calendar can help compare alternatives while details are pending.
