A City Pop festival will be held in London this August, with Masayoshi Takanaka confirmed as the headliner!
This will be the first large-scale outdoor Japanese music festival ever held in the UK.

On Friday, August 7, the City Pop Festival will take place at the historic open-air venue Crystal Palace Bowl in South London. This marks the first time a major outdoor festival dedicated to Japanese music will be staged in the United Kingdom.

Its former “Garden Party” concerts featured legendary artists such as Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, Lou Reed, Curtis Mayfield, and Gil Scott-Heron. It is also known as the site of Bob Marley’s final London performance.
