The annual festival, which was established in 1997, will return to Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata Prefecture from July 29-31 this year. Advance tickets for this year’s festival are on sale until June 16.
This marks the return of international artists to the Fuji Rock Festival after a 2021 edition featuring an all-Japanese lineup. The festival was canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and instead screened classic Fuji Rock sets from previous years online.
