Centered around Fukuoka-born craft beer PLEIADES BEER, the event transforms an urban plaza into a temporary playground where DJs, musicians, and artists active both in Japan and abroad come together.<\/p>\n<p>Featured performers include OLIVE OIL, Shuya Okino (KYOTO JAZZ MASSIVE), SHACHO (SOIL&#038;\u201cPIMP\u201dSESSIONS), Toshio Matsuura, HIROSHI KAWANABE, and YonYon. Weekday evenings feature night sessions led by local DJs, while weekends offer a changing lineup of live music, dance events, anime and J-pop programs, and other special performances.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors can enjoy a wide selection of food, including pizza, motsunabe hot pot, yakitori, takoyaki, and gelato. A culture market featuring record shops, vintage clothing vendors, and photo booths adds to the festival atmosphere, while contemporary artworks by four Fukuoka-based artists are exhibited throughout the venue. Whether stopping by for an after-work drink or spending a weekend immersed in music and culture, visitors can enjoy the event in their own style.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fn_pleiades_playgroud_2026_cl-001.jpeg?resize=1400%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"PLEIADES PLAYGROUND 2026\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-177936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fn_pleiades_playgroud_2026_cl-001.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fn_pleiades_playgroud_2026_cl-001.jpeg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fn_pleiades_playgroud_2026_cl-001.jpeg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fn_pleiades_playgroud_2026_cl-001.jpeg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jun. 19, 2026 (Fri) ~ Jul. 5, 2026 (Sun)<\/li>\n<li>18:00~22:00<\/li>\n<li>Admission: \u00a51,000\/day (includes one drink), \u00a53,000\/day all-you-can-drink pass, \u00a510,000 for a 17-day pass (\u00a58,000 advance purchase)<\/li>\n<li>Fureai Plaza (west side of Fukuoka City Hall)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/EsUrnGGypkUrhQDu9\" target=\"_blank\">1-8-1 Tenjin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pleiades-7star.com\/pages\/ppt\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/pleiades-7star.com\/pages\/ppt<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Guest DJ<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 OLIVE OIL<br \/>\n\u2022 SHOTARO AOYAMA<br \/>\n\u2022 Shuya Okino (KYOTO JAZZ MASSIVE \/ KYOTO JAZZ SEXTET)<br \/>\n\u2022 SHACHO (SOIL&#038;&#8221;PIMP&#8221;SESSIONS)<br \/>\n\u2022 Toshio Matsuura<br \/>\n\u2022 HIROSHI KAWANABE<br \/>\n\u2022 YonYon<\/p>\n<p><strong>Art<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 KEN IKEDA (Contemporary Artist)<br \/>\n\u2022 Kamawo Kamata (Illustrator)<br \/>\n\u2022 Kae-Rana (Graphic Designer)<br \/>\n\u2022 HAQ (Designer)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food &#038; Culture Market<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 The Pizza Fukuoka (Pizza)<br \/>\n\u2022 Shrimp&#038;Potato (Garlic Butter Shrimp)<br \/>\n\u2022 Hakata Shio Motsunabe Sento (Yakisoba)<br \/>\n\u2022 Warau Sakana (Takoyaki)<br \/>\n\u2022 Frit\u2605Star (Fried Chicken)<br \/>\n\u2022 Tagsta (Coffee)<br \/>\n\u2022 Krazy Meat (Yakitori)<br \/>\n\u2022 Coco Gelato (Gelato)<br \/>\n\u2022 Cafe Bar Tresol (Cocktails)<br \/>\n\u2022 Kashidokoro Matsudaya (Strawberry Daifuku Skewers)<br \/>\n\u2022 Furugiya Thierry (Vintage Clothing)<br \/>\n\u2022 Good Night Traveling Photo Studio (Photo Booth)<br \/>\n\u2022 music store Rapture (Apparel &#038; Merchandise)<br \/>\n\u2022 Muddy Rooters (Records)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As dusk settles over Tenjin, this 17-day cultural festival brings together craft beer, music, and art in the heart of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30291,"featured_media":177936,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-177937","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","location-tenjin","event-type-art","event-type-food-drink","event-type-music","en-US"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/177937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30291"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177937"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
