Kanagawa Prefecture
SAGAMIHARA ROCK FESTIVAL Fest StageSun, Feb 1 — Kanagawa Prefecture
This music festival was created with the cooperation of the city to provide a venue for young people engaged in musical activities in Sagamihara. The participating bands not only perform but also handle planning and operations themselves. It takes place over two days: a festival stage for the pure enjoyment of music and a contest stage where techniques are put to the test. On the festival stage, some bands will perform cover songs while others will present fully-fledged original tracks, so there’s a chance that a band could make a nationwide debut from here. It’s hard to take your eyes off the bands you’ll want to root for.
