Circle '16

Heading down to Fukuoka in mid-May is something we'd seriously consider, even if it wasn't for this laidback seaside festival that always attracts punters from all over the country. Performing among the plants and animals of Uminonakamichi Seaside Park are jazz-inflected indie poppers Cero, rockin' Osaka jazz unit Ego-Wrappin', poppy post-rock duo Kicell, the venerable Harry Hosono and 18 other acts – in other words, light and harmless fare suitable for listeners of all ages.
