2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY' in Kagawa

&TEAM is a 9-member global group produced by HYBE Labels Japan. The group brings together a diverse lineup of members — K, Fuma, Nicholas, EJ, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki — and since their debut in December 2022, they have captivated fans across Japan, Korea, Europe, and beyond, establishing themselves as a next-generation star collective.

The tour name "BLAZE THE WAY" means "to forge one's own path." This title, symbolizing the group's musical conviction and forward-driving energy, sets the tone for their 2026 concert season.

Basic Event Information

The Kagawa performance, taking place in the Shikoku region, is sure to be a special day for the fan community "LUNÉ." Anabuki Arena Kagawa is a full-scale multipurpose arena with both arena and stand seating, guaranteeing an immersive live experience.

For new fans just stepping into the world of &TEAM, this is also a perfect opportunity for a live debut. This guide covers everything you need — from getting tickets to access, accommodation, and sightseeing — to make the most of your Kagawa trip.

Strategic Guide to Getting Tickets

K-POP concerts in Japan go through multiple sales phases. Getting a clear picture of the full process early on — and taking action at each phase — is the key to securing a ticket.

① Fan Club Pre-Sale (Top Priority)

Pre-sale for members of &TEAM's official fan club "LUNÉ" is typically announced 4–6 weeks before general sales begin. Make sure to check your membership status on Weverse or the HYBE official site in advance. Even if you miss out in the pre-sale, don't give up — move on to the next phase.

② General Sale Platforms

③ Tips to Improve Your Chances

• Apply on multiple platforms simultaneously (if you win on more than one, promptly cancel the extras)
• Standby 5–10 minutes before the application opens and keep reloading the page
• Broadening your seat preferences (arena or stand, no preference) increases your chances
• Pre-register your payment information (credit card, address, etc.) in advance for a smoother process on the day

④ About Identity Verification

Identity verification at Japanese concerts has become more stringent in recent years. In many cases, a government-issued ID belonging to the purchaser (driver's license, passport, My Number card, etc.) is required. Tickets sold under non-transfer/no-resale conditions cannot have the name changed, so always purchase under your own name — this is non-negotiable.

Resale Tickets Carry Serious Risks

Ticket resale for K-POP concerts has become a serious social issue, and &TEAM's popular shows are no exception. Make sure you fully understand the following risks before taking any action.

Key Risks of Resale Tickets

• Entry denial: At concerts where identity verification is conducted, you will be turned away if the name on the ticket doesn't match the attendee. Even tickets purchased at a high price may go to waste.
• Inflated prices: Tickets are frequently listed at several times — or even over ten times — the face value. The financial loss can be significant.
• Fraud: In peer-to-peer transactions on social media or flea market apps, scams where sellers disappear after receiving payment are ongoing.
• Ticket invalidation: If the organizer determines that a resale ticket is invalid, you may be denied entry even after paying the full price.

Legal Considerations

Under the "Act on Prevention of Wrongful Resale of Specified Tickets," enacted in 2019, reselling tickets above face value is illegal. Buyers who knowingly purchase from illegal resellers may also be subject to penalties, so exercise caution.

Safe Ways to Get Tickets

• Use only official fan club sites and official sales platforms
• Take advantage of official resale services authorized by the organizer (such as Ticket PIA's official resale)
• When transferring tickets to friends or acquaintances, confirm the organizer's rules first

What to Do If You Miss Out

The best approach is to wait for official announcements of additional sales, day-of tickets, or re-sales of canceled tickets — without panicking. Keep a close eye on Weverse, official SNS accounts, and email newsletters. The risks of turning to unofficial channels are simply not worth it.

About Seating at Anabuki Arena Kagawa

Anabuki Arena Kagawa is a multipurpose arena in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, equipped to host a wide range of sporting events and large-scale concerts. With both the arena floor and stand seating combined, it can accommodate thousands of attendees.

Characteristics by Seat Type

Tips for Choosing Your Seat

Arena seats are the closest to the stage — you can see the members' expressions clearly, making them the most coveted spots. However, standing blocks require physical stamina. If you're tired from traveling, or if it's your first time attending, choosing a seated block is the safer bet.

Stand seats let you take in the full formations, lighting, and visual production all at once. &TEAM's stage production is of exceptional quality, and viewing it from an overall perspective makes it easier to appreciate the show as a complete artistic work. Even 2nd-floor stand seats offer a fully enjoyable experience.

Useful Items to Bring

• Binoculars: Especially essential for upper stand or 2nd-floor seats (8–10x magnification is easy to use)
• Penlight: LUNÉ's official light, or one that matches the color theme
• Minimize your luggage: If there's a cloakroom, make good use of it
• Comfortable shoes: Especially important if you're in a standing section

Getting to Anabuki Arena Kagawa (Takamatsu City)

Takamatsu City is the gateway to Shikoku, and the main route from Honshu is via the Seto Ohashi Bridge. Use the access information below to plan your journey with plenty of time to spare.

Access from Out of Town (to Takamatsu City)

From Takamatsu City to the Venue

• Bus or taxi from Takamatsu Station: Local buses and taxis are convenient. Check the nearest bus stop and travel time on the official website in advance.
• Kotoden (Takamatsu Kotohira Electric Railroad): A private railway running through Takamatsu City. Combine the nearest station with a walk or bus to reach the venue.
• If arriving via Takamatsu Airport: A limousine bus to the city center (toward Takamatsu Station) takes approximately 40 minutes.

Day-of-Concert Notes

• Public transit will be congested after the show, so it's recommended to either leave immediately after the concert ends or kill some time nearby before heading home.
• Taxis tend to be concentrated right after the show ends, so booking in advance via an app (GO, DiDi, etc.) is a safe bet.
• If you're renting a car, confirm parking availability in advance. Lots often fill up, so include nearby coin parking options in your plan.
• Always check the organizer's official website for detailed transportation guidance on the day of the concert.

Choosing a Hotel in Takamatsu

If you want to enjoy sightseeing in Shikoku after the concert, hotels near Takamatsu Station offer the best convenience. The best approach is to book as soon as the concert dates are announced — popular accommodations can fill up within just a few days of the announcement.

Recommended Areas

Sightseeing Around Takamatsu & Kagawa on Your Trip

Be sure to plan some sightseeing for the day before or after the concert.

Must-See Sightseeing Spots
