CRAFTROCK FESTIVAL '26 from CRAFTROCK TAPROOM Releases Two-Stage Timetable for Tachikawa
CRAFTROCK BREWING, which operates the Takao brewpub CRAFTROCK TAPROOM, has announced the timetable and stage assignments for CRAFTROCK FESTIVAL '26, to be held on Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10. The venue is split into two areas at Tachikawa Stage Garden: the indoor The HALL and the outdoor The GARDEN.
Hop BroHere it is, the timetable for CRAFTROCK FESTIVAL '26 has been released. CRAFTROCK BREWING, straight out of the Takao brewpub scene, is turning up the heat at Tachikawa Stage Garden again this year.
MugiWhat? They run a festival too from a Takao brewpub!? And now the timetable is out, which means we should already be clearing our schedule!
Hop BroExactly. The venue is set up as two stages, The HALL and The GARDEN. You can move between indoor and outdoor spaces while circulating through the music and beer.
MugiCirculating? Like swimming around the venue like a fish? But with two indoor and outdoor areas, it sounds fun because you can move however you feel like!
Hop BroOver the two days of May 9 and 10, there are more than 20 acts. Age Factory, toe, Straightener, cero, Penthouse, and YONA YONA WEEKENDERS are all on the bill, so it's a seriously packed lineup.
MugiWow, just seeing the names gets me hyped! That's the kind of thing where music fans are completely satisfied. The festival stomach may be busy, but the ears are going to be working overtime!
Hop BroThe beer side is strong too. Eight breweries are gathering, with CRAFTROCK BREWING at the center, plus Nara Brewing, WEST COAST BREWING, and even Hudson Valley Brewery. That's huge.
MugiWait, not just Tokyo, but overseas breweries too!? Being able to drink from distinctive breweries from Japan and abroad all at once is way too luxurious!
Hop BroAnd the CRAFTROCK TAPROOM near Takao Station is an easy base to stop by before or after hiking or taking a walk. It seems perfect for just one drink in that warm, wood-filled interior.
MugiHearing that makes me want to scout it out before the festival! The phrase a drink at the foot of the mountain is almost unfairly perfect.
Hop BroFirst, check the venue layout on the official site and plan which stage to head to at what time. This is a day to seriously enjoy both music and beer.
MugiYeah, I can't wait anymore! A festival that makes you want to raise a glass with the timetable in hand is absolutely one I want to go to!
CRAFTROCK BREWING, which runs CRAFTROCK TAPROOM near Takao Station, has released the timetable and stage assignments for CRAFTROCK FESTIVAL '26, to be held at Tachikawa Stage Garden on Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10, 2026.

CRAFTROCK TAPROOM near Takao Station is presented as a base where you can enjoy fresh craft beer at the foot of the mountain.
