LUNATIC FEST.

It’s a rock festival hosted by LUNA SEA, commonly known as “Luna Fes.” Launched in 2015 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of LUNA SEA’s formation, it’s a lavish event that brings together veterans of Japan’s rock scene and powerhouse bands from the younger generation. Rock fans can experience an irresistible time as the entire venue is enveloped in intense excitement.

This is a free admission event themed around Food, Farming, and Music, organized primarily by local farmers and centered on singer-songwriter Caravan. Although Chigasaki is often associated with the sea, its northern area features beautiful fields and greenery, and farming is thriving. However, illegally dumped trash has become a problem. Because the mountains, rivers, and sea are all connected in this region, the event aims to inspire a shift in participants’ awareness and help expand cleanup efforts. To protect this landscape and pass it on to future generations, we will share messages through music that encourage people to think about the environment. Why not enjoy locally grown vegetables sold directly by farmers and meals from food trucks, and take the time with your family to think about the future?

A circuit-style music event held across four live venues: Shimokitazawa GARDEN, Shimokitazawa Daisy Bar, Shimokitazawa SHELTER, and Shimokitazawa CLUB Que.
