History

edit

The first edition of the Tokyo Idol Festival was held in 2010 in Shinagawa.[1]

In 2011, the location of the festival was moved to Odaiba.[2]

In 2014, The Wall Street Journal included the TIF as one of five places in Japan to enjoy summer music festivals.[3]

In 2017, more than 200 idol groups and about 1,500 idols performed, attracting more than 80,000 spectators.[citation needed]

The festival was held completely online in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in hybrid form in 2021.[2]
