Hot 97 has officially taken Summer Jam to the next level. Summer Jam which takes place every June (rain included) is the biggest radio station concert, without a question. Now with Hot taken Summer Jam to Tokyo, it will be even bigger. Hot has signed a multiyear license agreement with Alex Live Creative to make this happen. The first Summer Jam: Tokyo will take place July 29th.
“HOT 97 Summer Jam Tokyo reinforces the global awareness and significance of the HOT 97 brand and the groundbreaking DJs who play such an important role in breaking and cultivating hip-hop’s top past, present and, without question, future performers,” said Patrick Walsh, President of Emmis Communications. “HOT 97 has a passionate following in Japan and hip hop is experiencing enormous growth in popularity among Japanese millennials. We look forward to working with our partners to deliver an authentic HOT 97 Summer Jam experience to the growing legion of Japanese hip hop fans and share the experience with our American listeners as we promote the groundbreaking event to our audience in New York and all over the United States. Our goal is to add another significant event to a country so rich in history and culture.”
