LoserBeck
BECK is an American solo artist who has remained active since his debut in 1993.
This song is included on his first major-label album.
At the time, his innovative style of laying rap over folk and blues tracks became a breakthrough moment for him.
It’s a song that’s often performed live, so it’ll be exciting to see if we get to hear it at this year’s Fuji Rock as well.
TontoBattles
Battles is making their third appearance at Fuji Rock, following 2007 and 2011.
Since they also performed in Tokyo and Osaka late last year, some fans of post-rock and progressive rock may have gone to see them.
Bands with this kind of vibe really suit Fuji Rock, don’t they?
Jah WorkBen Harper and the Innocent Criminals
This song is a re-recording of Jah Work, which was included on Ben Harper’s 1997 release The Will to Live.
Ben Harper, who has performed at Fuji Rock twice in the past, is appearing this time as BEN HARPER & THE INNOCENT CRIMINALS.
While this track has an acoustic vibe, there are also band-oriented songs featuring electric guitar, so be sure to check those out as well.
Many of Horror (When We Collide)Biffy Clyro
Biffy Clyro is a three-piece rock band from Scotland.
This was their first appearance in two years since performing at Fuji Rock in 2014.
You can listen intently to their majestic, image-rich ballads.
Besides this song, they also have cool tracks with a thrilling, electrifying drive.
HenkanBo Ningen
Bo Ningen is a rock band originally from Japan that is based in London.
Despite being active overseas, they are committed to singing exclusively in Japanese, and they have built a solid following abroad.
This appearance is like a triumphant return to Japan.
Their psychedelic vibe is a major part of their appeal.
Super Go!!!!!BOREDOMS
Boredoms have already performed at Fuji Rock five times since their first appearance in 1997.
They’re practically regulars at the festival, but since their last performance was in 2007, some of you might be thinking, “We’ve been waiting!” Their rock sound, played in their distinctive twin-drum style, is sure to get the crowd fired up.
