The Sounds Of Summer

By Japanzine Staff

Japan's annual summer music festivals are just around the corner, and this year even Beyoncé has decided to take a vacation in Osaka and Tokyo!

There's only one thing to do: leave your air-conditioned box of an apartment and trek out into the sticky sunshine of July and August's music matsuri, as major and not-so-major international and Japanese artists get it on at Fuji Rock, Summer Sonic, Earth Celebration, Rising Sun Rock and something called Isla De Salsa. And after you're done with all that, why not chill out at a midsummer beach party? We've got the scoop on a couple of those events, too.

But first, check out our in-depth festival previews for sound advice, opinions on this year's line-ups, and rambling anecdotes! Have fun out there.
