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.

Even in the cold winter, just staying at home can feel a bit boring, right?

So here are some festivals that will make you want to head outside, even in the chilly season.

We’ve put together a list of winter music festivals held in western Japan.

Nagata Grand MarchSat, 12/6, Hyogo Prefecture

It’s a festival hosted by the hugely popular youth punk band, Gagaga SP. The festival was organized out of a passionate desire to keep bands rooted in Kobe. All the performers are fiery artists whom Gagaga SP themselves genuinely want to share the stage with.
