Chill Out Festival

Autumn Out (秋OUT, also styled Chill Out Festival) is a relaxed, walkable city festival held each October around Gongguan — spread across the Taipei Water Park, the Gongguan Waterfront Plaza and nearby riverside spaces. Taipei music fans know it as the most comfortable and convenient 'block' festival in town: it gathers close to a hundred acts spanning indie bands, rap, R&B and DJ sets, and almost everything is a few minutes' walk from Gongguan MRT. The 2026 edition runs 10–11 October.

The 2026 lineup hasn't been announced yet. Expect a large bill (~100 acts) weighted toward Taiwanese indie bands, with rap, R&B and DJ stages mixed in.

1. It's ticketed, sold on KKTIX. Autumn Out sells through the local platform KKTIX (the organiser is PIPE Live Music). For reference, the 2025 edition priced advance tickets at about NT$1,490 single-day / NT$2,980 two-day — treat these as a guide and check the official page for the confirmed 2026 price.
2. A foreign card is fine. KKTIX accepts international Visa/Mastercard, and you don't need a Taiwan phone number or ID to register and buy. Create a free KKTIX account with your email.
3. No real-name ticketing. Tickets aren't tied to your ID; you exchange your order for a wristband/ticket at the gate.

Route: From Taoyuan Airport (TPE) take the Airport MRT to Taipei Main Station, then the MRT Green Line to Gongguan Station (公館站, G07). Exit 1 or 4 puts you a 5–10 minute walk from the Taipei Water Park and the Gongguan waterfront stages.

Staying: Gongguan itself, or anywhere on the Green/Red MRT lines (Ximen, Taipei Main, Zhongzheng), keeps you a short ride away. Gongguan is a student district with cheap eats and easy late-night transit.
