Fire of VitalityHokkaido, Sat 8/30 – Sun 8/31

A free outdoor festival held in front of Tomakomai Station in Hokkaido! Kassei no Hi has been running since 2014. Through this music event, we aim to generate vibrancy and revitalize the downtown area around Tomakomai Station. The town center should be a symbol of the city and a source of pride. We hope it becomes a place where everyone can have fun and a spark that gives the younger generation dreams.

Music and Hige-tachiSat, 8/30 – Niigata Prefecture

Music and Hige-tachi is a stadium-style rock festival held at HARD OFF ECO Stadium Niigata, a baseball park that can accommodate 30,000 people. When you think of summer festivals, you might picture outdoor stages, but because Music and Hige-tachi is held in a large stadium, you can enjoy a distinctly different atmosphere.
