Hugen

HUGEN is a music project from Japan led by TP (vocals/PC) and joined by hamachi (percussion), Shumpei Kuzuma (bass), and Kenta Tanizaki (saxophone).

Rooted in electronic music, their sound blends elements of folk and traditional music to create alternative, genre-defying works.

TP's lyrics-marked by unpretentious words that capture everyday emotions and scenery such as connection, love, and kindness - are another hallmark of the project.

Event Details

Japanese electronica two ways: refined dance music imbued with traditional folk elements, and a genre-defying groove complete with an audio-visual spectacle.

Incorporating wind instruments, bells and saxophone, HUGEN's electronic folk is immensely relaxing yet danceable, with smooth beats guiding tracks underneath.

Formed in 2024, this four-piece has made a fast impression in Japan's alt-electronic scene. Off the back of debut EP Matsuri, the band played Fuji Rock Festival's Rookie A-Go-Go! stage for emerging acts, and were nominated for Best Breakthrough Artist at the Tokyo Alter Music Awards.

They're joined by NIKO NIKO TAN TAN, a collision of music and art that combines disco synths, jazz and J-Pop choruses with a live VJ providing colourful visuals for a true show. Popping up across festival line-ups globally, NIKO NIKO TAN TAN are establishing themselves as a must-see live act.

Free for all to enjoy, Tumbalong Nights ignites Darling Quarter's Tumbalong Park with 23 nights of music during Vivid Sydney, with a cross-cultural lineup of live music from international legends, Australian icons, emerging stars, plus DJs.

Co-presented by The Japan Foundation.
