The REDLINE DREAM BAND, a new project led by MAH from SiM, has been formed to commemorate the conclusion of REDLINE’s 14-year journey in Japan’s live music scene. This farewell event, ‘REDLINE ALL THE FINAL’, will be held on December 7th and 8th at Chiba’s Makuhari Messe, celebrating the loud rock and punk rock genres that REDLINE has championed since starting in 2010.
The roster for REDLINE DREAM BAND reads like a “who’s who” of Japan’s rock scene, featuring 29 artists, including 19 vocalists such as Adam Graham and Hiro (both from FACT), Jesse (The BONEZ, RIZE), Jean-ken Johnny (MAN WITH A MISSION), Masato (coldrain), and Takeshi Hosomi (MONOEYES). The lineup also includes three guitarists—Kazuki (SHADOWS), YD (Crystal Lake), and DAIDAI (Paledusk)—alongside bassist Chiyo (SPARK!!SOUND!!SHOW!!) and drummer Tatsuya (Crossfaith).

The idea for the project came earlier this year when REDLINE organiser Suzuki Kentaro approached MAH with a concept: a song embodying a loud rock rendition of ‘We Are the World’. MAH quickly laid down a demo in just three days, and invitations were extended to some of the genre’s most prominent artists. The response was overwhelming, resulting in an ensemble Kentaro described on X as a “dream team”.
The band are set to release their debut track digitally on December 6th, just a day before the festival kicks off. The song will serve as a tribute from REDLINE to the scene it has tirelessly supported for over a decade.
REDLINE ALL THE FINAL’s stacked 52 act lineup across 2 days promises an unforgettable closer to the iconic festival series, with performances from FACT, MAN WITH A MISSION, Maximum The Hormone, SiM, and many others. FACT’s highly anticipated comeback on December 8th has been a major draw, leading to an immediate sell-out of day 2 tickets and weekend passes when they went on sale in late October.
