THE STAR FESTIVAL takes place at a campground in Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture, so it’s a music festival where you can of course camp. At night, you can experience an otherworldly atmosphere created by the lighting combined with the great outdoors—a view you don’t normally encounter—making it a highly recommended festival where you can soak in a sense of escape from the everyday.

A new experiential outdoor festival produced by the team behind ONE MUSIC CAMP, one of Kansai’s flagship open-air festivals, is coming soon. Built around the concept of offering a special outdoor festival experience unlike your usual weekend, you can enjoy not only live music, but also delicious food, outdoor activities, and workshops at a venue rich in natural beauty. The site is about an hour away by public transport from Kobe or Osaka, making it easy for families to attend. How about spending a fulfilling holiday together, stretching out and relaxing in an open, spacious setting?

This event combines an outdoor rock festival with fireworks under the concept of “bringing a live house outdoors.” On the live stage, there are plans that allow filming of certain artists’ performances, which is a treat for fans. The event is imbued with the hope that it will become a new hangout born from musical connections, and a little joy in people’s daily lives. Remarkably, the organizers are a volunteer community, not an event-planning company or a group of band members. Founded by members outside the industry, GAGAFEST has expanded in scale and will energize the venue with an outdoor rock festival and full-scale fireworks. Bring your family and friends and join in!
