Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefKeisuke Hane
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.

This time, we’ll introduce free-admission festivals in the Kansai region.

There are many festivals organized by local communities that highlight the unique character of each area, making them fun for the whole family.

Festivals are also great places to discover new musicians.
