Aichi Prefecture
BLARE FESTSat 2/7–Sun 2/8, Aichi Prefecture
This festival started in 2010 as BLARE DOWN BARRIERS, a live event hosted by coldrain, and from 2020—its 10th year—it has been held as BLARE FEST. With a stellar lineup that festival lovers won’t be able to resist, a sellout seems inevitable. We recommend checking ticket information early. It’s the kind of festival where you’ll want to catch every second across all three stages, so if you’re coming from out of town, plan to stay overnight and make the most of it.

FREEDOM NAGOYASat 5/16–Sun 5/17, Aichi Prefecture
Freedom once overcame a crisis of cancellation through crowdfunding. It’s a “thank-you” festival for music fans, with a strong commitment to keeping admission free. On the day, live performances will take place one after another across multiple stages. Odaka Ryokuchi, the venue, is a pleasant spot with plenty of trees and lawns, and it’s also close to the station—access is excellent.

The concept of Mori, Michi, Ichiba is “space.” It is said to express both atmosphere and maai (sense of timing and distance). The event values the unique atmosphere and maai of people, nature, food, works, and music alike. Why not join to rediscover the appeal of not only music but also various creations and many other things?
