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.

It’s summer.

Festival season is upon us.

There are so many festivals that it’s hard to decide which one to go to, right?

For those feeling that way, we’ve put together a roundup of summer music festival schedules here.

Let’s enjoy this summer’s festivals even more.
