Blast Slump 2026 ~Sing Under the Big Onion~ Japan Ticket

Overview

Bakufu Slump (Blast Slump), the legendary Japanese rock band that defined the high-energy sound of the 80s and 90s, makes a triumphant return to the stage for a historic milestone. After reuniting in 2024 to celebrate their 40th anniversary and releasing their first new material in over a quarter-century, the band is set to perform at the iconic Nippon Budokan. This show, titled “Sing Under the Big Onion,” is a direct and poignant reference to their classic hit “Ookina Tamanegi no Shita de,” which immortalizes the Budokan’s famous onion-shaped roof finial.

This performance marks the band’s first headlining show at the Budokan in 35 years, making it one of the most anticipated nostalgia-fueled events of 2026. Fans can expect a powerful setlist featuring their timeless anthems like “Runner” and “Tsuki Akari,” delivered with the same explosive energy that made them a household name. This is more than just a concert; it is a celebration of a 40-year legacy and a rare opportunity to see the original pioneers of Japanese “power rock” perform in the very venue they helped make legendary.

Is August 11th a special day in Japan?
