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.

We’ll introduce classic, large-scale, must-visit music and rock festivals!

From Japan’s “Big Four” festivals to major New Year’s countdown events, these picks are perfect for seasoned festival-goers and first-timers alike.

Check this out to catch up on the latest rock festival trends!
