Background & story

UP BEAT! (since 2002) closes its 24th-anniversary series with 'The Gathering' at BANK30, reuniting the DJs, artists and audiences who built the party over 24 years, from afternoon sun into the Tokyo bay night.

Launched in 2002, UP BEAT! has spent more than two decades as one of Japan's longest-running house-music parties — a true gateway to the dance floor, built on the simple idea of "Uplifting Dance Music."

The anniversary series closes with The Gathering at BANK30, a sophisticated bayside space on Tokyo's Takeshiba waterfront. Starting in the afternoon and running from sunlight through sunset into the shimmering evening skyline, it reunites the DJs, artists and audiences who have shaped UP BEAT! over 24 years — a thank-you and a look ahead, told through music. It is the grand finale of the 2026 anniversary series.
