The international showcase festival “Music Lane Festival Okinawa 2025 / Trans Asia Music Meeting 2025” will be held for three days from January 17 (Fri.) to 19 (Sun.), 2025, mainly at the Music Town Oto-Ichiba in Okinawa City,Okinawa, Japan.
Based on a circuit-type showcase festival, this year’s event will include expanded conference, networking, and DX content, as well as a market element.
The main focus will be on showcase live performances in the streets of Koza, and matching artists with DELEGATES, music professionals invited mainly from Asia. Deligates’ job titles vary from music festival organizers, promoters, label representatives, media, and so on.
We conduct a wide range of 1-on-1 meetings, conferences, and hackathons that aim to “enrich the future of music,” and discover a new future for music through direct dialogue that differs from online.
