ATARASHII GAKKO! said on June 3 that it will return to Taipei on August 29 and 30 as part of the 2026 JAM JAM ASIA festival, adding a Taiwan stop to the Japanese group’s live calendar. The announcement appeared in social posts and was backed up by Taiwanese festival coverage published the same day. Festival organizers and local media said the event will be held at the Taipei Music Center site in Nangang. General ticket sales are scheduled to begin at noon on June 10. ### Which Taipei event are they actually playing? JAM JAM ASIA is part of the broader 2026 TRENDY TAIPEI program, which local coverage said will run from August 22 to September 6 across the city. MeMeOn and Blow Music both reported that JAM JAM ASIA will take place on August 29 and 30 and feature more than 80 acts across seven stages. Blow Music said the festival venue is the Taipei Music Center complex, listed at 99, Section 8, Civic Boulevard in Taipei’s Nangang District. The same report said performances on both main festival days are scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., with an overnight DJ program set for after the main shows on August 29. ### What did ATARASHII GAKKO! announce on June 3? (memeon-music.com) A June 3 post cited in the social briefing said ATARASHII GAKKO! would return to Taipei for the festival on August 29 and 30, with ticket sales beginning June 10.

Those reports said tickets will be sold through the ibon ticketing system and 7-Eleven ibon kiosks across Taiwan. Blow Music listed standard two-day passes at NT$3,888 and single-day tickets for either August 29 or August 30 at NT$2,188. (memeon-music.com) The outlet also listed discounted categories including student, senior and accessibility tickets, plus a two-day pass bundled with the overnight DJ event for NT$4,488. June 8 is the earlier sales date for Cathay United Bank CUBE credit card holders, according to Blow Music. (blow.streetvoice.com) That presale runs online only, and the outlet said discounted CUBE card prices include NT$3,738 for a two-day pass and NT$2,038 for a single-day ticket. ### How does this fit into the group’s recent Taipei history? ATARASHII GAKKO!’s official website shows the group previously played Taipei on June 27 during an earlier international run, at Zepp New Taipei. (blow.streetvoice.com) The current festival booking marks a return to the city in a different format, this time as part of a multi-artist event rather than a standalone headline date. The official site currently functions mainly as a tour and artist page and does not yet surface a detailed Taipei festival entry in the search results reviewed here. Taiwanese festival announcements published on June 3 provide the clearest event-specific details now available. ### What should fans watch next? August 29 and 30 are the confirmed JAM JAM ASIA dates for Taipei, and June 8 is the first ticket milestone for eligible cardholders.
