An opening party for PBOX STND (PBOX STAND), the new cultural venue on the 10th floor of Shibuya PARCO, will take place on Friday, March 27. The event brings together a lineup of Shibuya-based creators and DJs, and in the latter half of the party, a satellite viewing program called "PBOXDOMMUNE" will connect the 9th floor DOMMUNE and the 10th floor PBOX STND for a genre-less, seamless live experience across both floors.
On the day of the event, a free original drink will be distributed in collaboration with DOMMUNE and Manpei Brewing, and limited-edition items produced in collaboration with an apparel brand will also be available for purchase.

Event Overview
The event centers on DJ and VJ performances, with food and drink sales, limited merchandise, and a free giveaway of "UFO LAGER" — designed by DOMMUNE curator Naohiro Ukawa — distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. A satellite viewing program in collaboration with "DOMMUNE" on the 9th floor of Shibuya PARCO is also planned, making this a one-night event that embodies the intersection of music, video, and food as symbols of Shibuya culture.

AND DOMMUNE SATELLITE VIEWING
Original Drink "UFO LAGER" Presented by PBOXDOMMUNE
The concept behind PBOXDOMMUNE is the "UFO abduction" — DOMMUNE on the 9th floor being drawn in and merging with the light beaming down from PBOX STND on the 10th floor. Expanding on this motif, UFO LAGER is a graphically expressed lager supposedly fermented and brewed by a UFO. The ultra-refreshing lager taste inside is as striking as its visual design, delivering a crisp, clean finish perfect for kicking off a night out in Shibuya.
