Two additional acts have been announced for the final line-up.Singer-songwriter Satoko Shibata has attracted attention from the literary world as a poet, spinning her words with a formless expression.
And the psychedelic band HAPPY (healing resolution set), with an air of the 60s and 70s, will perform a special set for one night only.

This year’s varied line-up, which has increased to three stages and connects the overground and underground, is a special experience of the joy of encountering new music, transcending the boundaries of genres and generations.
