LIVE HUMAN 2020 will bring artists and music-lovers together with high-quality visuals and audio.

Currently confirmed artists include Awesome City Club, Ai Otsuka, Trio Ohashi, kojikoji, THE CHARM PARK, SKY-HI, Asako Toki, tricot, BASI, Dai Hirai, Vickeblanka, betcover!!, and Miyuna. More are to be announced.

 

Performances will be held at venues, music studios, clubs, and elsewhere across Japan. Select artists will also be performing new tracks that touch on the reality of their lives today.

 

LIVE HUMAN 2020 will be streamed live on ABEMA’s “PayPerView” service. Merchandise is also in production for the festival.
