Daytime Music Festival
Sanuki Connect is a one-day outdoor music festival bringing together local communities, young artists, Tokyo acts, and visiting guests at the scenic Sanuki Amphitheater. As the cultural finale of the Sanuki Global Forum, the event creates a unique space for live music, community, and exchange — while showcasing the creative potential of regional Japan.
Festival with Purpose
Sanuki Connect is more than a music festival. It is a platform where music brings together young people, local communities, creatives, and visiting guests in Sanuki, creating new energy, visibility, and opportunities for the region. Internationally friendly and locally rooted, Sanuki Connect aims to grow into an annual spring music and culture event from 2027 onwards.
