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.

There are so many rock festivals nationwide that you may have had the experience of missing some.

To help you avoid that bitter experience, we’ve compiled information here on rock festivals held in western Japan.

ONE STEP LIVE is organized and run primarily by local university students, driven by the hope that it will serve as a catalyst—one of those moments in which, amid our changed daily lives, people can find dreams and make friends to share them with. The structure enables students to turn ideas into reality, connect with one another, and engage with local companies, broadening their future paths through these experiences. Students and businesses work together to energize the event. There are also thoughtfully designed activities that parents and children can enjoy casually, making it a family-friendly music festival we highly recommend.
