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.

Here’s a roundup of music festivals taking place during Golden Week.

There’s nothing quite like immersing yourself in music outdoors, enjoying the sense of freedom that only a long holiday can bring.

This article offers a broad look at Golden Week festival options for anyone thinking, “I’m interested, but what kinds of festivals are there?” They range from easy day-trip events to multi-day experiences where you can stay on-site and dive in completely, so be sure to find an event that fits your schedule and interests.
