Tokyo gets a new summer festival this July in the form of Future Frequencies Festival, a collaboration between local music promoters Beatink and artist Daito Manabe. The two-day event includes performances from big-name local and international acts, including London’s Joy Orbison, recently reformed electronic outfit The Sabres of Paradise and delightfully weird jazz-funk duo Knower. The event will also see appearances by Kassa Overall and Hakushi Hasegawa, plus a collaborative set from electronic artist, producer and DJ Nosaj Thing and Daito Manabe.
In addition to the live performances, of which more are set to be announced in the coming weeks, the event will also feature exhibitions, panel discussions and workshops. One- and two-day tickets are available; they’re on sale as of May 22 and are likely to sell out.
