What is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is a unique online streaming event that highlights the diversity of Tokyo's music scene. It features performances from music artists across a broad spectrum of genres like R&B, hip-hop, rock, pop and more that dig deep into the city's culture.

The event will showcase 1 online concert/night for 15 days, followed by a special hybrid finale event at Wall & Wall in Omotesando. The event will begin on December 5th and end with the finale on December 20th.

Sponsored by Zaiko

Zaiko, a technology company based in Nishi-Azabu, is sponsoring this Bandwidth Festival with venues, production equipment, marketing and its online music platform. Artists and fans will be able to use Zaiko's streaming, fan engagement and digital goods apps to engage with each other like never before.

As an incentive, 3 artists with the highest engagement (stream views, subscriptions sold to fans, NFTs sold to fans) during the 30-day selling period will be invited to perform at the finale, in front of celebrity guests, music industry professionals and top fans. Artists will also secure a spot in a special Zaiko TV spotlight.

10 top fans with the highest engagement (artist subscriptions purchased, artist NFTs purchased) during the 30-day selling period will also be invited to the finale, where they will get a chance to watch a live show from a favorite artist or new favorite artist.
