The recently announced artist lineup for the ROCK IN JAPAN FES. 2018, held over two consecutive weekends in August, reads like a who’s who of Jrock and Jpop with enough talent breadth and all-around sonic kick-assness to satisfy most music palettes, and then some.
Some of the acts on the bill include power poppers KEYTALK, who have just released their fifth album, Rainbow, as well as Superfly chanteuse Shiho Ochi. The program also features veteran rockers Orange Range, THE ORAL CIGARETTES, and kinetic alt-rock stalwarts KANA-BOON. Make sure to look at their artist lineup page for the full list of announced artists, with more to be added soon.
The exact dates, times, and stage designations for each artist are still to be determined. Of course, this is just one of the many festivals taking place this year. Take a look at an earlier post that detailed some of the upcoming 2018 Japanese music events.
