Performer: Yuki Chiba, Japanese rapper, singer, and songwriter, in a headline set.
Artist background: Chiba’s music is described as having a raw, unpolished honesty and an effortless quality, with lyrics that feel like personal diary entries and an inimitable flow that allows him to move naturally across genres. His first release under the name Yuki Chiba, “Team Tomodachi,” arrived in February 2024 and became a viral sensation. In June 2024, his collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, “Mamushi,” exploded in popularity, reaching number one on the Rhythmic Airplay Chart. His performance of the song at the MTV Video Music Awards made him the first Japanese artist to appear on that awards stage.
Career milestones: In roughly six months, Chiba released three full albums — “STAR,” “Okumanchoja” (Millionaire), and “Eien” (Eternity) — as well as a collaborative project with creative director Stillz titled “separated at birth.” In July 2025, he played a sold-out hometown show at Tokyo’s Budokan Arena, and he appeared on the cover of Japanese Rolling Stone in August 2025. He also wrote the official anthem for Riot Games’ popular title VALORANT and has continued releasing collaborative music with artists including Murda Beatz, Feid, and Big Sean.
Recent activity: In 2026, Chiba made his headline touring debuts in Australia and Europe and released the Japanese-Korean anthem “Annyeonghaseyo,” which has generated more than 300,000 creations on TikTok alone. Outside of music, he writes columns for television and print media and runs his clothing brand, Dogs.
