Inazawa Rock Fes is a participatory rock festival for local bands that began in 2010 as a privately initiated, privately operated event. Unlike the classroom-level stages you often see at music events named after regional cities, its appeal lies in an uncompromising commitment to top-tier sound, lighting, and equipment—the thunderous guitar sound roaring from a wall of Marshalls is a must-hear. With the slogan “Hoping for the revival of adults who once performed and the success of children picking up instruments,” the festival features not only a main stage for rock bands and an acoustic stage, but also a must-see cover contest for high school bands!
