Iwamurock FESTIVALNiigata Prefecture, Sat 9/20 – Sun 9/21
Set in Iwamuro, a hot spring area in Niigata Prefecture, this music event invites everyone to share what they love and enjoy, and to express it freely. Aiming to share the joy of spending time in the countryside, we bring out each person’s unique color, freely paint the space called Iwamuro, and share that time together by creating the event as one. Why not shift from spending your days just going into town to shop and coming home tired, to a way of living where you create your own enjoyment right in the town you call home?
| Schedule | Saturday–Sunday, September 20–21, 2025 |
| place | 96-1 Iwamuro Onsen, Nishikan-ku, Niigata-shi, Niigata Prefecture |
