# Summer Sonic Festival

Het Summer Sonic Festival is een jaarlijks Japans muziekfestival in de steden Osaka en Chiba. De bands die op de eerste dag in Osaka spelen treden meestal de volgende dag in Chiba op. Omgekeerd geldt hetzelfde.
De line-up van het muziekfestival bestaat uit verschillende Japanse rockmuzikanten, maar ook internationale artiesten zijn vertegenwoordigd.

## Namen van podia

De namen van de podia zijn sinds het begin vaak veranderd. In 2000 en 2001 hadden de podia de namen Stage 1 en Stage 2. Daarna in 2002 tot 2003 werden de namen veranderd in Outdoor Stage en Indoor Stage, met daarbij in 2002 het New Stage en Factory Stage en in 2003 het Sonic Stage.
In 2004 werden de namen Marine Stage, Mountain Stage, Sonic Stage, Rock Stage en Beach Stage gebruikt. Een jaar daarna, in 2005, werden Marine Stage, Urban Stage, Beach Stage, Island Stage en HMV Dance Only Tent in Chiba gebruikt. Open Air Stage, Rock Stage en Aqua Stage werden in Osaka gebruikt. Mountain Stage en Sonic Stage waren te vinden in beide steden.
In 2006 kon je in Chiba naar het Marine Stage, Beach Stage, Urban/Dance Stage, Island Stage, K-Sound Stage en de Riverside Garden. In Osaka konden mensen terecht in het Open Air Stage, Aqua Stage en het Cosmo Stage. In beide steden waren het Mountain Stage en Sonic Stage te vinden.
Daarna in 2007 en 2008 was in Chiba het Marine Stage, Mountain Stage, Beach Stage, Island Stage en de Riverside Garden te vinden. Osaka moest het doen met Ocean Stage, Sky Stage, Park Stage en het Breeze Stage. Het Sonic Stage en het Dance Stage waren in beide steden te vinden.
In 2009 werden bijna dezelfde namen gebruikt. Voor Chiba was Midnight Sonic toegevoegd. Het Dance Stage kreeg in Chiba twee podia erbij, het Diesel:U:Music Stage en de Planet of Sound. Het Breeze Stage in Osaka werd het Garden Stage.
