Fuji Festival

Niigata-shi (新潟市,) is the capital and the most populous city of Niigata Prefecture, Japan. The city is sometimes called the “City of Water”(水の都 Mizu-no-miyako) because of the two rivers that flow through it. Probably you’re wondering why I’m writing about a city located in a region called Chūbu (which means “central region”) in the middle of Japan. Well Fuji Rock Festival, an annual rock festival, will be held in Naeba Ski Resort, in Niigata Prefecture, Japan on the 24th, 25th, 26th of July. This 3 days event features about 250 Japanese and international musicians every year, making it the largest outdoor music event in Japan. What I like about this annual festival It’s the fact that the organizers proudly calls the event as “the cleanest festival in the world, promising clean toilets and showers, and no litter” Nice

Really well organized, they asking you to remember: Independence’, ‘Cooperation’ and ‘Respect of nature’ are the keys to fully enjoy this festival. Let’s do it together! ( Their Slogan).

This year the festival is featuring Oasis, Franz Ferdinand and Weezer. The Per-date lineup announced Dove, ASA-CHANG & JUNREI, BRAHMAN, DJ TIM HEALEY. For further details about the Fuji festival, line up and Various tour packages click Here .

As you may know by now, Red Hot Chilly Pepper have disbanded for at least a year according Anthony Kiedis’s declaration to Rollins Stone last week, so It’s a good moment to show here this short Intro at the Fuji Rock 2006, hope you like it.

Peace Out and Sayonara
