Since this event is called “O.Y.Z NO YAON” (= Oyaji no Yaon) and held at Osaka Castle’s open-air stage, the lineup consists only of adult male groups. Even though they’re ‘oyaji’ (middle-aged men), I’m sure each group will show off a mature coolness that won’t lose to the younger crowd.

As we grow older, it can feel increasingly difficult to make time to relax. Chillin’ Vibes is a festival where you can do just that—enjoy a laid-back time listening to music in a lush, green setting. As its title suggests, inspired by the term “chill time” derived from “chill out,” it’s the perfect opportunity to forget the busyness of everyday life, unwind in nature, and enjoy soothing music. Come out with a picnic mindset and have a relaxing day.

The Miyakojima Rock Festival, which began in 2005 and has been held every year on Miyako Island. It’s Japan’s earliest summer music festival, set in an unbeatable location where you can gaze out at Okinawa’s beautiful sea and sky—so expectations are high again this year. Why not take part and make it a trip to Okinawa as well?

This is a spring festival held in Osaka that started in 2022.
