The official pre-party for Rainbow Disco Club 2026 takes place on Saturday, April 4.
Opening early at 20:00, this year’s edition runs all night with a special extended program and a stellar lineup.

Daphni, the dancefloor-focused alias of the globally acclaimed Caribou, will perform not only at RDC 2026 but also at the pre-party. Fresh off the release of his new album Butterfly, he will deliver a rare 3-hour opening set to start the night.

Also joining the lineup is Hunee, who will appear at RDC 2026 in a B2B with Antal. This marks his first solo performance in Japan in eight years, making it a truly unmissable occasion. In addition, Masalo, a rising star from Amsterdam, will perform an exclusive LIVE SET for this show. Known for his distinctive sound, Masalo’s set dives deeper into the electronic side of his music, delivering a highly danceable live experience.

From Japan, Mayurashka—who has released standout records on respected labels such as Rhythm Section and Animal Dancing—will take over the main floor.

The 4F FLOOR will host two international guests. First is Hibiya Line, founder of Ho Chi Minh City’s renowned club The Observatory and a key figure supporting the growth of dance music in Vietnam. The second guest is Anya, a Lisbon-based DJ and radio host making her Japan debut. Also one half of Javybz, she hosts the monthly NTS Radio show All Styles All Smiles with Javybz. Constantly digging for fresh and exciting music, her set promises a unique journey across styles and sounds.

On the 1F FLOOR, AMAPINIGHT—the powerhouse party collective centered around Amapiano, the dance music born in South Africa—will make their RDC debut. Blending Amapiano with hip-hop, Afrobeats, UK garage and more, the crew brings their signature high-energy style to the floor. Featuring rising Japanese Amapiano DJs Mitokon and Ajuchan, along with the full AMAPINIGHT crew, the 1F FLOOR will erupt into pure dancefloor euphoria.
