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.

There are countless music festivals across Japan, but this time we’ve gathered indie-focused festivals from all over the country! These fests are packed with up-and-coming, buzzworthy artists who are poised to break through.

Be sure to check them out.
