Few music magazines have a better grasp of what the public wants than Rockin' On, the influential periodical behind this long-running music festival. This year, Rock in Japan will be held at Soga Sports Park, an attractive coastal spot in Chiba. The festival consistently sells out in advance each year, despite (or maybe because of) the fact that the lineup has more repeat performers than any other summer music fests.
This five-day music soiree will feature Japanese bands, singer songwriters and even idol groups including Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Ado, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Little Glee Monster, Maximum the Hormone, Hyde, Be:First, Creepy Nuts, Momoiro Clover Z and the like.
A one-day ticket costs ¥15,000, but purchasing a multi-day ticket will give you a discount of up to ¥22,000, depending on how many days you book for. Tickets are currently available through a lottery system via the J Fes app until June 19.
