BAYFES, the annual music event held each September at Bayside Place Hakata, will stage its first overseas edition in Taipei on Jun 7, 2026. The free-entry event is designed to strengthen cultural and creative exchange between Fukuoka and Taiwan through live performances and artist collaboration.<\/p>\n

Organized as a Japan\u2013Taiwan music exchange, the Taipei event builds on connections formed at BAYFES 2025, which featured Taipei-based artist Andr. The initiative aims to deepen ties between the two regions by encouraging reciprocal artist participation and joint programming, with further Taiwan-linked content already planned for BAYFES 2026 in Fukuoka.<\/p>\n

\u201cBAYFES in TAIPEI\u201d will take place at Legacy TAIPEI in Huashan 1914 Creative Park, with doors opening at 15:30. The lineup includes Andr and \u6211\u662f\u6a5f\u8eca\u5c11\u5973 I\u2019m difficult from Taipei, alongside Fukuoka artists INO hidefumi (solo), Lil Summer, YOHLU, and \u91cc\u5730\u5e30 (satochiki).<\/p>\n

The main BAYFES event will return to Bayside Place Hakata on Sep 5\u20136, 2026. Programming includes live performances on the Bayside Stage (five acts per day), a DJ zone overlooking the port, and a daily live set aboard a chartered municipal ferry. A pre-event DJ party is also scheduled for Sep 4 at the Hakata Port Tower observation room.<\/p>\n
