If you only could choose one summer festival to go to, you should head to Japan for their Fuji Rock Festival. The festival has always drawn huge crowds who use this music festival as an excuse to head to the ski slopes during summer and spend one weekend rocking out to the best artists from Japan and all around the world.
Good music + awesome views
And no, the festival will not be taking place at Mount Fuji or anywhere else near it. The festival originally took place at the base of Mount Fuji, but due to terrible weather conditions, the entire festival was moved to Naeba Ski Resort the following year and has since been held there every year despite the name.
With the third wave announcement, here’s the lineup of Fuji Rock Festival, by the bigger stages:
The lineup seems to be filled with more hip hop artists than rock, but there are still some good rock acts like Brahman and Vampire Weekend. If you really must, I guess Post Malone can be considered post-rock?
Check out the full lineup for all 13 stages here. The festival is spread over more than 13 stages over a ski resort, and there’s plenty of good music for everyone to enjoy. Best of all, there’s an onsen in the festival for the quintessential Fuji Rock tradition – if you can find it.
