With the motto ‘Save the Beach, Save the Ocean’, this outdoor party at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse celebrates beach and surf culture, with an emphasis on protecting the shrinking number of beaches and coastal environments in Japan.
This surf-themed art-and-music jamboree has been a mainstay of the city’s spring event calendar since 2005 and offers a leisurely introduction to the summer music festival season, with film screenings, exhibitions and projection mapping shows adding to the relaxed vibe.
Greenroom is known for hosting a variety of established Japanese and international musicians and visual artists. Acts to look out for on this year’s line-up include the UK’s Ella Mai and Emma-Jean Thackray, American artists Jon Batiste and Janelle Monae, and Japan’s Otoboke Beaver and Kid Fresino, as well as a special Nujabes tribute set.
You can also take part in beach cleanups and peruse a green market selling products made from recycled materials.
Tickets are now on sale via the event website.
