THEATRE BROOK, HMBC, ASOUND and others to appear at Zushi’s outdoor festival “Ikego no Mori Music Festival”

The Ikebukuro Forest Music Festival will be held on Saturday, October 5th and Sunday, October 6th at Ikebukuro Forest Natural Park in Zushi City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

This event is an outdoor festival planned and run by volunteers who came together with the desire to “liven up the culture of Zushi.” This year, a wider range of musicians than ever before will be performing, from veterans such as THEATRE BROOK and Spinna B-ILL to young musicians who are now gaining attention, such as ASOUND, maya ongaku, and Half Mile Beach Club. As in previous years, the lineup is unique and sure to impress music lovers.

In addition to the live performances, the market area is packed with the charms of the area, and popular restaurants and general stores will be opening, as well as workshops for children. There are also initiatives such as free admission for high school students and younger, and the festival has garnered support from families as a “festival the whole family can enjoy.”

Tickets are on sale now, and Zushi residents can purchase them at a discounted price.

[Comment from the organizers of the Ikebukuro Forest Music Festival]

Among the many music festivals
What is the Ikebukuro Forest Music Festival like?
When asked

I suddenly thought it might be the Jomon period.

Jomon period.
As lifestyles changed from hunting to farming,
The hearts of people who no longer need to spend time together
It was the “festival” that brought them together.

It’s not flashy, but it’s full of life.
It’s not flashy, but it has warmth.

Drink, dance, lie down.
These words I’ve been saying all this time
What they’re doing is no different from what they did in the Jomon period.

It’s good to see technology change in a year.
It’s easier to believe that nothing has changed in 2,000 years.

We’ll do it again this year.
The usual, a little too long
I’ll be waiting for you on the lawn.

All the staff of Ikebukuro Music Festival
