Agefarre 2024 in Tokyo
Agefarre 2024 brought one of Japan’s most beloved dance music legacies out of the club and into the open air on September 29, 2024, transforming Odaiba’s CITY CIRCUIT TOKYO BAY into a sprawling outdoor festival experience. Once strictly an indoor party tied to iconic venues velfarre and ageHa, this year’s edition represented a full evolution — blending festival energy, massive production, and multiple stages all under the Tokyo Bay sky.
- Why: Tokyo’s largest outdoor celebration of dance culture — techno, trance, eurobeat & ParaPara.
- When: Typically late September (Fall), next edition likely early Fall 2025.
- Where: CITY CIRCUIT TOKYO BAY (Odaiba waterfront).
- Last Entry: Gates usually around 6:00 PM (after early day sessions) — times vary each year.
- Tickets: ¥6,500 to ¥12,000
- Artists: YOJI BIOMEHANIKA, John Robinson, DRAGON, Remo-Con, Tetsuya, Mitsuki & YO*C
The festival’s lineup fused legendary names and contemporary talent. YOJI BIOMEHANIKA — a Japanese hard-dance pioneer known for his decades of genre-defining work — stood out as one of the headlining performers, delivering a unique set that brought his signature high-energy Tech Dance and trance-influenced styles to the outdoor crowd. Veteran John Robinson, a long-time resident and figure tied to the original velfarre scene, anchored performances across the day alongside ageHa regulars like Tetsuya, DRAGON, Remo-Con, Mitsuki, and YO*C.
Agefarre’s festival layout was expansive, with distinct zones catering to diverse tastes. The ParaPara stage revived Japan’s beloved synchronized dance culture, drawing crowds eager to dance classic eurobeat routines together — a nod to the passionate ParaPara communities that helped popularize Super Eurobeat across the country. Beyond that, multiple circuit and performance stages interwove DJ sets, live acts, and visual shows, combining dance music, choreography, and festival spectacle into one cohesive event space.

For those planning attendance, Agefarre 2024’s ticketing structure offered options for various experiences. General Advance (GA) tickets were around ¥6,500, with U-25 discounted tickets at ¥5,500 for attendees under 25. Larger group options — such as pair and 10-person group tickets — helped fans attend together, and Deluxe tickets (for premium viewing areas) were offered around ¥12,000. On-site and day-of pricing varied, especially for night-time entries later in the schedule.
The event’s setting at CITY CIRCUIT TOKYO BAY (a dedicated circuit course near Odaiba) made Agefarre 2024 especially accessible — a short walk from Yurikamome Aomi Station or Rinkai Line’s Tokyo Teleport Station — letting festivalgoers enjoy expansive staging, food/beer areas, and open-air dance floors along the bay. Unlike a late-night club party, the day-to-evening schedule meant the event unfolded from early afternoon into night, making it both a day out and a nighttime music experience.

More than just a reunion of club culture, Agefarre 2024 stood as a landmark outdoor celebration of Japan’s long-standing dance music scenes — from techno and trance to eurobeat and ParaPara. With legends like Yoji and Robinson sharing lineups alongside younger DJs and performance acts, the festival offered a rare blend of old-school reverence and new-wave festival production — all in one of Tokyo’s most unique waterfront settings.
