After canceling last year's edition, Fuji Rock Festival is back!

Following a quiet year for music festivals worldwide, the Japanese rock festival is returning for a live event this August. In an announcement made last month, Fuji Rock confirmed that they will be hosting a live festival but unlike previous editions, this year will only feature local Japanese acts and implement an array of COVID-19 regulations.

"Fuji Rock Festival will work to hold a 'special Fuji Rock under special circumstances' at Naeba this summer by implementing heightened health and safety measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 so everyone can enjoy the festival in a safe and secured environment," says the festival organising committee, in an official statement.

To all who are looking forward to this year’s Fuji Rock,

With the belief that the future of outdoor festivals is bright. NO FESTIVAL, NO LIFE.
