The official showcase live "Inspired by Tokyo" by five Japanese music companies is set to take place at "The Great Escape 2026," Europe's largest emerging music festival held in Brighton, UK.

"The Great Escape" is an international showcase festival that brings together hundreds of emerging artists from around the world to present the latest music scene through live performances and conferences. Each year, many music industry professionals and fans attend, making it a prominent gateway for next-generation artists.

This showcase, "Inspired by Tokyo," is jointly planned and organized by five companies—Columbia Marketing, FRIENDSHIP., Spincoaster, TuneCore Japan, and The Orchard Japan—with the aim of promoting the Japanese music scene to the world. On the day of the event, four acclaimed artists from both Japan and abroad will perform, embodying "today's Tokyo" music with diverse sounds and unique expressions.

The lineup of performing artists includes the cabs, known for their unique world view; Necry Talkie, popular for their catchy yet edgy pop sound; luvis, who are gaining attention for their refined soundscapes; and TAMIW, who are highly regarded both domestically and internationally for their genre-bending experimental sound. This stage promises to fully deliver the charm of Japanese music that resonates across borders.

The event will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2026, local time, at the DUST live venue in Brighton. We encourage you to pay close attention to how Japanese talent will make its presence felt at the forefront of the global music scene.
