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.
