FEATURE ｜ Re:birth 2024

Text by STDK

The event will be held for three days from June 14th (Friday) to June 16th (Sunday) in Chino City, Nagano Prefecture.Kurumayama Kogen Sky Park ResortThe full lineup of over 100 acts for the “Re:birth Festival” to be held at has been announced.

This is the first festival in two years, and this year marks the 11th anniversary. The headliners include Sebastian Mullaert, who has made a name for himself with Son Kite and Minilogue, magician Mathew Jonson’s Back to Back, Ø (PHASE), Hattori Hanzo, and other stars of the techno scene. X-DREAM, a hugely popular trance scene heavyweight here in Japan, and DEKEL, who will be visiting Japan for the first time in a long time. In addition, a wide lineup of artists will be gathered, including Numa Gama, a Voodoohop crew that is sweeping the world as a new axis of dance music, mainly from South America. Don’t miss the live set of the legendary Japanese drum team GOCOO, who has gained support worldwide since their debut at “RAINBOW 2000” and their collaboration with JUNO REACTOR, as well as the first appearances of DJ KRUSH, KEN ISHII, and Dongurizu. Domestic artists who are active both in Japan and overseas will also be in full swing.

The seasonal scenery will take your breath away like you’ve never seen before. Kurumayama Highlands is an access point within a 3-hour radius from the Kanto and Tokai regions, and as the local catchphrase states, “An experience that will turn your everyday holiday into a lifelong memory awaits you.” Depending on the weather, you can experience the spectacular view of a sea of clouds, the divine full moon, the beauty of the mountains, and the gradual passage of time in the vast nature (it gets chilly at night, so don’t forget to pack warm clothes). Another attraction is that there are plenty of hotels and hot springs near the venue, making it a place that can be enjoyed by everyone from hardcore partygoers to families.

In addition to the experience of camping in nature, you can also take a gondola from the venue floor to the top of the mountain and enjoy a meal at a restaurant in the sky, experiencing hospitality that is rarely found at outdoor festivals.

And as a special performance, the RE:SORB team will be coming to Japan from Germany. Don’t miss Infinity Horogram, a spectacular performance that will blow your mind with a large amount of smoke scattered in the air and natural fog, making use of huge holograms to project 3D visuals. We hope you will also look forward to the art that will be created in a truly magnificent space, along with the various decorations and art scattered throughout the venue.

Fireworks will also be set off during the event, so in addition to the music and art, you’ll be able to enjoy a festival-like experience, making it a great place for families to come.

The Re:birth Festival has inherited the bloodline of Japan’s traditional rave culture and has been held at various outdoor venues such as Cape Futtsu and quarries, and is loved by many music lovers. Why not come and join us for the 11th anniversary of the festival?

In addition to camping, there are also hotel plans with hot springs, so if you want to enjoy the festival in a more comfortable environment, be sure to check them out.
