Jam Jam Asia
Taipei's city-run pan-Asian festival — Korean, Japanese and SE-Asian acts beside Taiwanese stars, in an English-friendly city-centre venue.
About
JAM JAM ASIA (JJA), the music centrepiece of Taipei's city-run TRENDY TAIPEI (潮臺北) programme, is a pan-Asian pop and indie festival held indoors and outdoors at the Taipei Music Center. Curated by a panel of well-known Taiwanese music figures, it spans multiple stages and 80-plus acts, deliberately mixing Taiwanese artists with Korean, Japanese and Southeast Asian names. Its international, city-centre format and large, English-friendly venue make it one of the easiest big festivals in Taiwan for an overseas visitor.

How foreigners buy tickets
This is a ticketed festival. Tickets are sold via iBon (ibon.com.tw and 7-Eleven ibon kiosks across Taiwan). General prices are around NT$2,188 for a single day (29 or 30 Aug) and NT$3,888 for a two-day pass; discounted student and concession tickets also exist. Foreign Visa/Mastercard are accepted online and there's no Japanese/Korean-style local-phone or real-name barrier — but the ibon site is Chinese-first, so if the online flow is awkward you can also buy or collect at any 7-Eleven ibon kiosk in Taiwan. Buy early; popular days sell out.
