Summer Sonic 2026 Opens Applications for Artist Autograph Sessions in Tokyo and Osaka
Summer Sonic 2026 has announced its signature artist autograph sessions, with application windows now open for both the Tokyo leg (Saturday, August 8 and Sunday, August 9) and the Osaka leg (Monday, August 10). Promoter CreativeMan is running two separate application routes — one for its members, one for general ticket holders.
How to apply
- Pre-event lottery (CreativeMan members only): Members of CreativeMan can enter a lottery draw ahead of the festival dates.
- Same-day on-site application: Attendees who have already entered the festival grounds can apply on the day through the official Summer Sonic app, with separate application processes for the Tokyo and Osaka shows.

Why it matters for festival-goers
Summer Sonic's autograph sessions are a recurring perk of the festival, but access depends on either advance CreativeMan membership or having a valid ticket in hand on the day. International fans planning a trip around the Tokyo or Osaka dates should factor in the two different application routes — and keep checking the official pages, since the artist lineup for these sessions hasn't dropped yet.
