It's no exaggeration to say that the ROOKIE A GO-GO stage auditions have become one of the most important summer events for FUJI ROCK's discerning audience and newcomer artists . Applications are now open!
We will also be holding a segment called "From Niigata to FUJI ROCK !", featuring artists who live in Niigata Pref., where Fuji FUJI ROCK is held!
Applications will only be accepted online, and can be submitted via a special page set up within TuneCore Japan, a music distribution service.
Looking back at the festival's history, a number of renowned artists have performed, and in recent years, artists who have made significant contributions to the latest music scene, such as King Gnu, My Hair is Bad, SiM, Creepy Nuts, Tempalay, HEY-SMITH, and kurayamisaka, have taken to the stage.
We are looking for future headliners to liven up ROOKIE A GO-GO this year as well!!
