ADAM FESTShizuoka Prefecture, Sat 5/30–Sun 5/31
This festival is being held with the organizer ADAM at’s desire to spread instrumental music further and to let more people know about Hamamatsu, the “city of instruments” that thrives on the musical instrument industry. It will take place as a tour in Tokyo, Osaka, and Shizuoka. Since the lineup features different artists in each city, traveling along as a way to discover new acts can be part of the fun.
