Niantic’s Pokémon Go Fest 2021 is July 17-18, has a music festival theme

Niantic said its Pokémon Go Fest 2021 will take place July 17 to July 18 as a digital-only worldwide event. And this year the spirit of the annual event will be a musical festival theme, where players will be able to choose between two different musical themes, complete with custom tracks unique to each.

The producer behind Pokémon’s iconic music, Junichi Masuda, has produced all-new tracks for Pokémon Go Fest 2021, including rock for Pikachu Rock Star fans and electro-pop song for Pikachu Pop Star fans. Last year, millions of players caught more than a billion Pokémon over the festival weekend.
