Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

A massive gathering of free-admission festivals from all over Japan is here!

Because they’re free, you can drop by on a whim and discover artists you’ve never known before.

You might even discover a whole new world you hadn’t experienced!

Free-admission festivals you won’t want to miss.

Save The Birthday is a charity festival held every year in Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture. Because it’s a charity event, admission and parking are free, making it easy to attend. However, there are donation activities at the venue, so it would be great if you could donate in proportion to how much you enjoyed the event and use the energy you received from the music to help others.
