Fireball Fest
Taiwan's big rock/punk festival at a baseball stadium near Taoyuan airport — heavy homegrown and Japanese rock, easy to reach on a Taipei-area trip.
About
Fireball Fest (火球祭) is one of Taiwan's major rock, punk and indie festivals, staged at the Taoyuan Baseball Stadium. The 2026 edition runs 14–15 November across a two-day, multi-stage bill. Run by the Fireball team, it leans heavier and louder than the seaside indie festivals — a stadium-scale gathering of Taiwanese and Japanese rock, close to Taoyuan international airport.
Lineup
Partial lineup announced. First-wave acts include Fire EX. (滅火器) and Dragon Ash (JP), with more to be revealed. Follow the Fireball Fest channels for the full bill.
Recent editions have featured a mix of leading Taiwanese rock/punk bands and Japanese guests across a two-day stadium bill — the 2026 first wave (Fire EX., Dragon Ash) continues that pattern.
