Among Southern’s activities in 2024, the one that attracted a lot of attention was their appearance at “ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2024 in HITACHINAKA”. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the event, the event will be held for a total of 10 days, with locations in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture in August, and Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture in September. On September 23rd, the final day of the event, the Southern All Stars performed as the grand finale to the large-scale event.
This is their third appearance in six years, and it was announced as their “last summer festival appearance,” and it became a hot topic. There are many summer-related works, and the Southern All Stars, who are widely known as a band that symbolizes summer, will be making their “last summer festival appearance,” so ticket applications are flooding in. On September 23rd, the performance day, there were 100,000 applications, far exceeding the specified capacity of 50,000, marking the highest number of applications in the history of “ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL.”
In order to respond to the requests of many people who were unable to win tickets or who had given up on participating due to distance, a live viewing event will be held to broadcast the concert live to movie theaters nationwide. Southern All Stars’ passionate stage performance, which lasted approximately 100 minutes and consisted of 19 songs, was specially broadcast live as “ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2024 in HITACHINAKA Southern All Stars Live Viewing” with the cooperation of the secretariat. .
This is the first time in the history of “ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL”, which has a history of 25 years, that live viewing will be held. The number of movie theaters that broadcast this stage live was 611 screens in 332 theaters in 47 prefectures, and all tickets were sold out. The number of spectators attending the live viewing was approximately 155,000 people, making it the largest and largest attendance ever for just one Southern All Stars performance.
The powerful video, which was filled with the same enthusiasm as the actual venue, became a hot topic, and many requests for re-screenings were received not only from those who could not attend on the day, but also from those who enjoyed the live performance at the venue.
Now, in response to those voices, it has been decided that a live viewing encore screening will be held. The film will be screened seven times over five days from December 13th to December 17th at movie theaters in 47 prefectures, and will be screened in over 200 theaters in total.
With live viewing equipped with a large screen and state-of-the-art sound equipment, let’s witness the legendary Southern All Stars’ “last summer festival appearance” once again.
A portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Noto Peninsula Earthquake that occurred in Ishikawa Prefecture on January 1st of this year, as well as the Noto heavy rains that occurred from September 21st to September 23rd, just before the live performance. It has also been revealed that a donation will be made to Ishikawa Prefecture as a disaster relief fund to support those affected.
