Hikyousai 2016

Always among the last outdoor music festivals of the season, this Yamanashi all-nighter has reached its ninth edition on the strength of reliably strong, underground-heavy lineups and a picturesque campsite setting. Soak in the outdoor baths before catching dance-biased indie outfits like Catboys, Tempalay and Networks, or head for the DJ booth, which will be manned by Tokyo scene veterans from Altz and Gonno to Hikaru and Dazzle Drums. We recommend booking tickets in advance, as the festival area only holds 350 people.
