WILD BUNCH FEST.Aug 22 (Fri)–24 (Sun), Yamaguchi Prefecture

WILD BUNCH FEST., which began in 2013 as the successor to SET STOCK, a music festival held in Hiroshima for ten years starting in 1999.

One particularly impressive feature of WILD BUNCH is the small floating stage on the sea, located in a cove-like area of the venue, called “On the Sea,” which is used only for the closing act. Since it’s the closing act, the surroundings are completely dark by then, and the live performance on the small stage floating on the water is a must-see. Also, last year a campsite was set up inside the venue, allowing attendees to stay overnight from day one to day two, so that’s another highlight to watch for.
