FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL ’16 Performing Artists (1–10)

Breathe LifeJack Garratt

Jack Garratt is a brand-new up-and-coming artist whose debut album is set to be released this February.

He has won multiple awards given to promising newcomers in the UK and is currently attracting a lot of attention.

His wonderful singing voice makes all the praise entirely understandable.

Jake Bugg is a singer-songwriter from the UK.

He first came into the spotlight in 2012, when, at just 18, he opened for Noel Gallagher and The Stone Roses.

It makes you wonder just how talented he must be to land such a big stage at 18.

His slightly distinctive voice is the kind that could easily become addictive.

Kamasi Washington – ‘Change of the Guard’

Among Los Angeles jazz musicians, one who truly stands out is saxophonist Kamasi Washington.

I’d love for people who don’t usually go to hear sax players to give him a listen.

His performances are must-see, given his background playing in the backing bands of a wide range of artists across genres.

HushKula Shaker

This is KULA SHAKER, making their third appearance after two previous hiatuses.

The name Kula Shaker is said to be taken from the name of a schoolyard in 9th-century India.

This song is included on an album released in 2010, and it’s a very straightforward, cool-sounding rock track.

GeckoOliver Heldens

Oliver Heldens – Gecko (Original Mix)

OLIVER HELDENS signed with the Dutch dance music label Spinnin’ Records at the astonishingly young age of 17.

This track, Gecko, released in 2013, became his biggest hit.

Its unique sound captivates listeners and is full of charm—he’s definitely an artist to watch in the future.
