FIREBALL Fest. 2026: Collaborations, Dates and Ticket Collection

FIREBALL Fest. returns to Rakuten Taoyuan Baseball Stadium on November 14 and 15, 2026. Co-curated by Fire EX., this year’s festival places Taiwanese bands, Japanese rock and performers from other regions across two days. Instead of reading only a combined lineup, separate the guests and dates first. The official two-day advance ticket is NT$4,350 and the one-day advance ticket NT$2,880. Choosing one or both days determines which collaborations you can see, as well as your ticket-collection and entry arrangements.

Saturday pairs Flesh Juicer with Crossfaith’s drummer; Sunday brings Crystal Lake and GIGO

The official Saturday, November 14 lineup includes FEVER 333, Sambomaster, Northern19 and Flesh Juicer, the last explicitly featuring Crossfaith drummer Tatsuya Amano. BUTTER RIOT performs that day too, alongside different voices including Soft Lipa, Enno Cheng and Sheng-Xiang & Band. The programme can move from rock and heavy sounds into rap or other band formats within a day. Reading the featured-guest information reveals more about this edition than band names alone.

Sunday, November 15 brings Dragon Ash, EGO-WRAPPIN’, HANA and Crystal Lake, whose guest is Flesh Juicer vocalist GIGO. EmptyORio’s collaboration with Yappy is also listed for Sunday, alongside Captain Ordinary, TRASH and Amazing Show. Fire EX. appears on both days. To see both Flesh Juicer’s Japanese drummer collaboration and GIGO joining Crystal Lake, do not assume the two appearances are on the same day or part of one performance.

Build your route around collaborations rather than one genre label

FIREBALL retains punk and heavy bands while including pop, rap and musicians from different countries. To decide whether it suits you, choose a few essential acts and then explore unfamiliar names on the same day’s programme. The stadium photograph accompanying this article documents an earlier FIREBALL event; the other three images are official artist publicity designs for this edition. None depicts the November performances as already having happened. Check the official timetable for actual stage locations and individual performance slots.

Choose a ticket alongside the way you want to watch. NT$4,350 for two-day advance admission and NT$2,880 for one day are the two prices currently listed on the official site; availability on the purchase page determines what remains when you buy. Student tickets have separate eligibility checks. The official rule limits them to current students and that year’s graduates aged 30 or younger, for their own use. Bring the required student evidence and identification when exchanging a ticket for a wristband. Looking young or buying for a friend does not remove verification requirements.

New purchases use FamiPort collection; registering a wristband matters if it is lost

For readers buying now, the delivery phase has ended. The official ticket page states that orders from October 16 onward can only use FamilyMart FamiPort collection; student and disability-discount tickets also use that method. Tickets are exchanged for entry wristbands incorporating iPASS functions. Wristbands allow re-entry, but must be tapped at the entrance or exit each time. Unlike simply handing over a paper ticket at a single concert, keep and use the wristband correctly when leaving for food or returning for another act.

The organiser also recommends wristband registration. Only a lost registered wristband can be reported and replaced through the prescribed process and a replacement fee; do not assume an unregistered one can be replaced. Children aged 12 or younger enter free with at least one accompanying ticket-holding adult. Confirm your companions’ eligibility, ticket-collection method and preferred day before planning transport home. This leaves more time for the genuinely different programmes across the two days instead of sorting documents and ticket exchanges at the stadium.
