■ Message from “VIVA LA ROCK” producer Ariizumi Tomoko
As the fourth announcement of the artists they performed, we have announced 23 new artists this time! With this announcement, we have announced the 64 performers. Vivara in 2025 is moving forward to have 97 artists appearing (though those who have been reading the messages for a long time have probably noticed, we have actually added one more slot. . I’ll explain more about that later), and this year, we will be able to create a free playground for a rock festival with everyone together to create a celebration where the highest quality music will be heard and resonate with you! I feel very grateful and excited about this.
What kind of day can you make for each day? What kind of chemistry and encounters will be created by having so many wonderful music gather together in each day x 4 days. Is it possible to do this? I’m still working on a variety of things, expanding my imagination. I think that not only is this a part of us, but I’m sure everyone is also a part of us. One of the fun things about festivals is to spend the day thinking about how you should spend this day and what kind of experience you will be able to experience in the last four days. . We are very confident that if you see this incredible lineup that has been announced at this time, you will be able to feel very excited when you envision this year’s Vivara! And of course, there’s still more to go!
This year, the stage composition will be the huge space of Saitama Super Arena, which will be in stadium mode, and the two STAR STAGE and VIVA! STAGE are arranged on the same scale and side-by-side to allow you to enjoy live performances from anywhere, and many new possibilities The four stages create the VIVA LA ROCK, featuring a lively vibrant viva-star, CAVE STAGE, and GARDEN STAGE, the only open-air stage of Vivara. The stage will be announced after the final announcement of the artists who will be performing, but be sure to listen to the many music while watching the lineup that has been announced. Then, bring this year’s Vivara, where these music gather, and experience the live performances that resonate loudly throughout the place, with all your support. Vivara is waiting for you again this year!
The other day, we announced that a new music audition will be held, “VIVA LA CHANCE ~U-22 SAITAMA Music Audition~.” This is an audition held in collaboration with the Telephones, who have been working together since the launching stage of Vivara, and the Saitama Prefecture friends whom I have met while continuing the festival, and Grand Prix. The winners will be able to appear at this year’s VIVA LA ROCK (yes, this is why we added one slot), and we will be communicating with Kiba-kun from the time we won the award until we appeared in Vivara. You can receive specific advice on how to create music and show live performances.
The target is U-22, or those who aspire to play music under the age of 22. The U-22 form is familiar to the world of sports, but I also have a feeling that it made the music audition, VIVA LA CHANCE, for those under the age of 22. Please read Tano’s message.
The deadline for entry is March 18th. Thanks to you, we have already received many entries. Please check the details on the VIVA LA CHANCE page and apply!
It’s been two and a half months until the event is held. In the next announcement, I would like to announce the VIVA LA GARDEN, which I am planning to try new things. Please look forward to future announcements.
We hope you will see us at VIVA LA ROCK 2025 this May, the 25th anniversary anniversary of Saitama Super Arena opening! !
