This rock festival started in the spring of 2023 to energize the North Kanto area. It brings together must-see and supportive artists who fire up the crowd with their performances—an essential part of any music festival. It’s a new-style event that rotates its venue each year among Ibaraki, Tochigi, and Gunma prefectures, and we’re also focusing on the market aspect so it can become an event cherished by the local community.
