Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

Music festivals are held not only in Japan but all around the world, thrilling countless music fans.

Among the most iconic are Coachella, SXSW, and Tomorrowland, and there are countless events of every genre and scale.

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of overseas music festivals—from famous, marquee events to lesser-known, niche gatherings beloved by insiders.

We hope this will be helpful for music lovers planning an overseas trip, as well as those who want to travel abroad specifically to attend a festival.

Let It Roll began in 2003 as a club event on the Czech music scene. From the clubs, it evolved into a larger-scale winter festival held in factory venues and quickly became the most popular event in the Czech Republic. In 2008, the promoters decided to host the first summer open-air festival. More than 3,000 attendees gathered at the Oplatil sand quarry near the city of Pardubice, and everyone was thrilled by the amazing atmosphere. The following year, the number of visitors doubled to 6,000.
