'Summer Sonic' is a large-scale urban music festival in Japan, featuring top local singers as well as world-class musicians. In particular, even though Treasure is appearing for the first time since their debut, they are expected to stand shoulder to shoulder on the same main stage as world-renowned musicians such as Kendrick Lamar and Liam Gallagher.

Treasure, which made its official debut in Japan in March 2021, ranked all three Japanese albums at No. 1 on the Oricon chart and Line Music, achieving a "career high" in both music and music categories, despite not being able to carry out any activities in the country due to the aftermath of the pandemic. did.

Well done Treasure! They are quite popular but not “to your face” type. This is quite huge so congrats!

Yeah. They've sold out the KSPO and Kyocera Domes twice and their first tour total is already over 530k audience/tickets sold and adding more dates.

Their 2nd night in the Kyocera Dome was broadcast live in over 60 sold-out movie theaters in Japan.

Are they headlining though? Their name is listed at the bottom portion of the poster. Not like BP with Coachella where their name is big and bold on the poster, and articles mentioning them as actual headliners.

It was just announced today. And as the article states, they are on the main stage on both days in both cities. So yes, they're headlining.

There are several stages for the festival in both locations with the headlining acts performing in the biggest venues.

The festival has nearly 100 artists every year. Last year there were 72 acts/artist/bands who played the festival.

It's not like Coachella where they list every act on the poster for every stage.

If you're performing on the main stage, you're listed on the poster and are the headlining acts.
