From the organizers of Fuji Rock, Asagiri Jam is a music festival that takes place on the actual slopes of Mount Fuji at a time of year that is usually more conducive to being in the outdoors.
The action happens at Asagiri Arena, adjacent to Fumotoppara Camping Ground — the place where festivalgoers will be pitching their tents.
The 2024 lineup is to be announced, but the 2023 lineup was mostly domestic, with international acts including The Album Leaf, Canadian trio Badbadnotgood, Kassa Overall, Helsinki Lambda Club, and Tommy Guerrero. Also featuring will be (in our opinion, the best-named Japanese band in the world) Ogre You Asshole.
