Yamanashi Prefecture

Ega FesSat, 5/30 Yamanashi Prefecture

This is a music event that began after comedian Egashira 2:50 planned and announced it on his official YouTube channel. Egashira is active in many fields, but this time he’s taking on a surprising new challenge: organizing a music festival himself and even negotiating the casting directly. No one can predict what it will be like, so it would be a shame not to take part. You also won’t want to miss the lineup announcement to see which artists will gather.
