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.

Here’s a summary of rock festivals held in July.

It’s the height of summer—the season when so-called summer festivals are in full swing.

Why not ride that wave of excitement and create some unforgettable summer memories?

Use this as a reference for how to spend your summer.

MURO FESTIVAL is a fest hosted by Shibuya O-Crest. At a time when people say audiences are drifting away from live houses, it was launched to create opportunities for bands active in live houses to perform outdoors and give back to the live house scene. This year it will be held indoors, combining the best of Muro Fes with the appeal of live houses.
