MINI is keeping the surprise until the very end: the brand has opened ticket sales for MINI UNITED JAPAN 2026 with MINI LIVE! — the first Japanese edition of the global MINI UNITED festival. The event takes place on October 3 at the Sun Meadows Kiyosato resort in Yamanashi Prefecture, and the headline moment of the day will be the reveal of a new model. Which one exactly — MINI Japan isn’t saying.
Three ticket types are on offer. MINI Stage Avenue costs 8,000 yen per car — it includes two passes, a parking spot, and automatic entry into the owners’ contest. MINI Park A/B costs 4,000 yen per car, while a standard entry ticket for one person is 2,000 yen. Visitors under 18 get in for free.
The festival runs from 10:00 to 17:00. Beyond the car reveal, organizers promise an owners’ meetup, a MINI contest, brand exhibition booths, live music, and a full stage program. MINI Japan is still finalizing the schedule, so more details — including the name of the mystery newcomer — should surface closer to October 3.
MINI recently expanded its presence in Pakistan and Jordan in 2026.
