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.

We’ve put together a roundup of music events happening in March, including spring festivals, jazz festivals, and circuit-style festivals.

This year is packed with exciting events like Tenjin Ototaku, SANUKI ROCK COLOSSEUM, and Umekoji Fest!
