Nagisa Music Festival

The summer music festival starts very early indeed in Tokyo – on April 10, to be precise. That's when the annual Nagisa Music Festival unfurls in Odaiba, proving that even the dreariest expanse of concrete can be enlivened by a healthy dose of house, techno and jamming. New York house innovator Frankie Knuckles tops the bill in a varied day of music spread across six stages. Also keep an eye out for sampler-mashing duo Hifana, avant rockers Zazen Boys, leftfield rapper Shing02 and jam band Dachambo.
