Kyushu Biteki Matsuri Finals Head to Fukuoka & Kumamoto
The final chapter of one of Kyushu’s most anticipated Visual Kei events is about to unfold. The Kyushu Biteki Matsuri (Kyushu Aesthetic Festival) is touching down in Fukuoka and Kumamoto this August, bringing together a carefully curated roster of established and emerging VK acts for what promises to be a landmark summer weekend.

Whether you’re familiar with established names like Sadie’s Courreges and 東京花嫁 (Tokyo Hanayome) or discovering emerging acts for the first time, the lineup balances accessibility with edge.
