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.

In this article, we’ll focus on rock festivals among the many music festivals held across Japan.

Did you know that thrilling stages take place all year round, regardless of the season? From massive festivals that Japanese rock fans can’t get enough of to cozy, community-based events, the variety is truly wide-ranging.

We’ve clearly compiled event information to make it easier to find the rock festivals that catch your eye.

Be sure to look for the next festival you want to attend!

It takes place in a roaming format through live houses around the city—such as Shibuya Ongakudo, eggman, CYCLONE, and Milkyway—with a central reception desk set up at SHIBUYA XXI.
