2026 Takao Rock Festival
After a long wait of 727 days—nearly two years—the little monsters never stopped exploring. They wandered the edges of the universe, traversed different galaxies along sonic channels, and collected sounds and stories from all over the place amidst countless melodies. Carrying a young and fearless curiosity, an adventurous spirit unbound by frameworks, and a free and unrestrained soul, they are ready to bring back and share more diverse music and richer perspectives with the harbor.
This autumn, the little monsters have once again activated the portal and returned to the familiar harbor, challenging three musical adventures from different dimensions with a brand new series of events! This time, Takao Rock is not one event but a series: three distinct events spread across four weeks, each with its own format and personality.
Spanning four weeks from 10/10 to 10/31 and featuring three major themes, this is an unprecedented Takao Rock.
━━━Takao Rock Event Series━━━
▶︎Hi-ing 5
- Event Dates: 10/10－10/11
- Welcoming the 5th anniversary with Haiyin Hall, connecting 4 major stages + 1 market, composing the encounters and emotions of the harbor with sounds from different generations and styles. It is the opening event of the series and the only two-day installment, offering the widest spread of stages and sounds.
▶︎KMC Select
- Event Date: 10/17
- From song selection to the live experience, carefully picking every moment to leave the most beautiful impressions. In contrast to the opening weekend’s multi-stage scale, this is a single, focused night where curation is the point.
▶︎V Future Party
- Event Date: 10/31
- Taiwan’s first-ever Vtuber music festival, combining virtual idols, 5G technology, and musical performances to open an immersive future experience. It brings the festival to a close on 10/31 and points Takao Rock toward the virtual side of live music.
Between the multi-stage celebration of Hi-ing 5, the single-night focus of KMC Select, and the virtual showcase of V Future Party, the 2026 Takao Rock Festival gives audiences three very different reasons to spend time in the harbor this October.
