Palace Bowl Presents 31 July - 16 August 2026
Friday, August 7, 2026 - Crystal Palace Bowl, London
Sold out
The 7 August 2026 Palace Bowl Presents date at Crystal Palace Bowl looks eastwards, with Masayoshi Takanaka heading a bill steeped in Japanese city pop. 八神純子 brings classic city pop and singer-songwriter material, balancing polished arrangements with melodic storytelling. Himiko Kikuchi adds further Japanese perspective, while Ginger Root stitches together city pop, funk, indie pop and J-pop, updating the sound for a new audience. The result is a rare London outing where smooth, jazz-tinged pop, tight rhythm sections and neon-bright hooks dominate, turning the Bowl into a west-facing vantage point on a still-evolving Japanese genre.
