Rock in Japan Festival

[witchblade]

Waiiiii summer in Japan is approaching!! This the time where concerts and music festivals take place (Huhuhuhu I wish I can go and see them)

While I was cutting some perfs from Rock in Japan 2006, I was reminded to check if this year's list is out. And it is.... :D :D (After the disappointment for this year's a-nation and anticipating the artist list for ap bank fes 07)

Rock in Japan Festival is the most extravagant music festival in Japan O__O Last year's artist count was 45++ artists/bands for 3 days, all day and night concert. Of course, all artists/bands will not perform at one stage only, they are divided into three stages. These three stages for RiJ are: Lake Stage, Sound of the Forest and Wing Tent). The ticket price for one day is 10,000 yen and for the whole 3 days it is 30,000 yen (well with this setlist, the ticket price is worth it LOL). Audience can select which stage they want to watch and the ticket applies to all the stages... The sad note here is if two of your favorite artists are performing at the same time on a different stage you have to choose which artist you will watch LOL.

The TV version of this one is aired at Music On! Last year, this concert was an 18 hour marathon on TV (I was only to download I think 12 hours of the concert ^^;; because the next 6 hours has no seeders =___=)

Here is the list of the artist that are already confirmed to perform for this year's Rock in Japan Festival

Oooh... it's a pretty good lineup again :D Hmmm... Base ball Bear... maganda ba music nila? hahaha xD

I just downloaded some Jinn kanina, ok din naman, they sound a bit like High and Mighty Color :3

Ok lang din parang High and Mighty Color din na medyo mellow xD Yeah the line up is sooo good... Looks like RiJ for this year will have 100++ artists/bands(but well some are not yet confirmed). I read on some BBS forums that they want some will petition that dangercrue bands to appear in RiJ..

[gaily-girl.livejournal.com]

LOL! I kinda doubt that would happen, kasi meron namang Danger concert para sa lahat ng bands ng Danger Crue at the end of the year... but then who knows xD huhuhuhu frustration ko pa rin di ko mapanood ang SID :(
