■ Message from “VIVA LA ROCK” producer Ariizumi Tomoko
Following the fourth installment of the other day, the fifth installment of the artists has been announced!
This time, 15 new groups have been announced. With this announcement, we have announced 79 artists out of all 97 performers this year, and we believe that this will finally give you a high resolution image of the overall picture of VIVA LA ROCK 2025. How about it? Are you really excited? This year’s Golden Week will be filled with a variety of artists, from fresh talent to veterans who have such solid will, and will sing and play each of their music in a loud and versatile way. And, with all of them, including each and every one of us participating, we can create this irreplaceable four-day celebration. I’m really, really happy!
I think that being able to see our favourite artists at once is a charm at the festival, as well as being able to discover a variety of music is a very important part of the festival. I’m sure there are also artists and cultures in this lineup that you haven’t encountered yet. Please come and meet us. We believe that being exposed to various music and expressions will inevitably enrich our hearts and lives. And I’m sure VIVA LA ROCK will be able to bring you that kind of encounter again this year.
Ticket sales have also started. For advance sales, we only applied through the Vivara official app, but from the timing of this general release, you can also apply through the ePlus, Ticket Pia, and Lawson Ticket websites and apps. Sales will be on a first come, first served basis, so please purchase as soon as possible!
Pre-ordering of official merchandise has also started! We have created a variety of merchandise inspired by this year’s Vivara. There are many unprecedented items, including a luminous T-shirt that glows in the dark, a foamed T-shirt that has a plump logo, a large cotton scarf that can be used as a sunshade or accessory, and a clear motel keychain with a super cute transparent acrylic material. Be sure to check it out.
moreover. This year we will be holding the free admission festival “VIVA LA GARDEN”, which is an outdoor area of VIVA LA ROCK and is visited by many people every year!
And! This year, the first project produced by VIVA LA GARDEN will be holding the Saitama Karaga Age Expo, an event specializing in “fried chicken” and “craft beer” for three days, on April 26th (Sunday), 27th (Holiday), just before the VIVA LA ROCK event!
To begin with, VIVA LA ROCK holds the festival with a strong desire to be a festival where people who say, “I love music right now!”, and that they can continue to produce many “music rubbers of the future.” Because of this, we hope that by allowing people who don’t usually have that habit of going to live shows or music festivals, or those living in the neighborhood to feel free to come to the public, they will be able to experience the joy of festivals and become interested in music, so we have opened VIVA LA GARDEN for free.
Thanks to you, as we have seen more people attend VIVA LA GARDEN, we have been able to enjoy it last year by many people, from children to adults. In the midst of all this, can we make use of this place and do something new and fun…? After thinking about it, we decided to team up with the Keyaki Plaza Beer Festival, Japan’s largest craft beer festival hosted by our fellow Saitama Super Arena, to hold a fried chicken and craft beer festival!
“Why was it fried chicken and beer?” says, “Don’t it be the most enjoyable thing to eat a variety of fried chicken in the Keyaki Plaza, which is decorated with the sky and fresh greenery, and then go straight to the beer! Of course, we are also welcome for those who cannot drink or who do not drink it (drinking is only after the age of 20). Not only are we a huge selection of fried chicken stores that will make you think, “Oh! This fried chicken too!?”, and we also have a large selection of fried chicken stores, and we have also created meeting points with the huge fluffy dome, Vivara specialty and mascot characters, looking forward to seeing you from kids to adults! Please come and have fun and come and enjoy!
And one more thing. The entry deadline for the performance audition “VIVA LA CHANCE ~U-22 SAITAMA Music Audition~” will be held in collaboration with Tanoki from the telephones, and the entry deadline is 23:59 on March 18th. We are currently receiving a lot of applications, and all our staff are excited by the young talents who have many potential, but we look forward to seeing you!
Spring is coming soon. When spring comes, it’s really fast, even vivara.
Vivara is looking forward to seeing you again this year!
During Golden Week, let’s enjoy together while enjoying the music to your heart’s content! !
