Currently, TSDS is analyzing the list of bands performing at this event. Compared to 2024, there seem to be fewer bands in 2025 that Lindyhoppers can dance to. The event spans six venues, but it appears there’s no need to visit venues other than 01 and 03. Comparing the 17th and 18th, the 18th looks more promising. This year, the event coincides with the Hibiya Jazz Festival, and after analyzing Hibiya as well, the 17th seems better for that one. Therefore, TSDS’s assessment is that if we go dancing, Hibiya on the 17th and Ikebukuro on the 18th are the best choices.
Let’s go to dance to the Ikebukuro Jazz Festival which will take place on May 17th and 18th, 2025. Over 200 jazz bands will perform around the Global Ring Theatre near the west and south exits of Ikebukuro station.
