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.

We’ve put together a roundup of music festivals in Ibaraki Prefecture, including summer festivals, rock festivals, and outdoor festivals.

We look forward to welcoming you again this year at exciting events like ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL and Tsukuba Rock Fest!

As a new festival organized by Ibaraki Broadcasting, the LuckyFM Green Festival has been held since 2022. Following the relocation of the ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL, the event has adopted the motto “Don’t let the flame of Ibaraki’s festival culture go out,” and has been reimagined with a new concept as a celebration of music, food, and art at its venue, Hitachi Seaside Park. Featuring local ingredients and a wide range of art and music genres, it’s also recommended as a family-friendly event. It’s sure to become one of your favorite summer memories!

GFBIbaraki Prefecture, Sat 7/19 – Sun 7/20

GFB stands for Goose Fresh Beat, and since Goose Fresh is a playful misspelling of “goosebumps,” it’s a music festival curated around the concept of a band that gives you goosebumps. It’s held on Mount Tsukuba, offering a festival where you can enjoy music surrounded by nature. The local love really shows, for example, in the special Ibaraki discount available on tickets.
