Worth knowing if you're planning a trip
Spotify O-EAST and O-WEST sit inside the same building in Shibuya's Maruyamacho area, a setup commonly used in Tokyo to run paired venues for a single large-scale event — letting all 12 acts play across one day. Tickets are tiered between a student rate and a general/overseas rate.
