EGO-WRAPPIN' WILL PLAY PENTAPORT'S MAIN STAGE BEFORE HEADLINING ORANGE COURT
A handful of Fuji Rock ’10 acts will be pulling double duty and performing at South Korea’s Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival or Jisan Valley Rock Festival too. Pentaport takes place from July 23 to July 25 and Jisan will run at the same time as FRF.
Don't be lost when the time comes!
Wouldn’t it be great if you could bring everything that you could possibly need or want to FRF? Well, maybe not. The first time I went to a three day music festival, I took a single courier bag. What didn’t fit, I didn’t need, I reasoned. At that same non-FRF festival last year, I filled a car with three others. A big car. What happened along the way? And I still forgot some of the things I needed. With only a few shopping days left til FRF, here is my list of essentials.
There has been much debate on footwear this year. More even than usual. Kern likes his Sauconies. Sean recommends Nikes, on the advisement of Dave, then in the next sentence says he won’t be wearing them hisself. I say Gore-tex is for pussies. The Don will try his luck with open sandals for the first time. Jeff says wellies. I wholeheartedly agree. After slipping a pair on my third year into the fest, I’ll never go back. Shawn, who has wisely stayed out of the argument (this is a topic close to our hearts here, and tempers can flare) sent me an email this week asking if I had saved his pair from last year. As if I hadn’t! I count him amongst the wellie’d. I know Jinki is a wellie man. Clint and Spykee? Well they’re new, and haven’t announced their swinging vote yet. Continue Reading…
ZACH DE LA ROCHA FROM ONE DAY AS A LION
For those unable to join us in Naeba or for fest-goers wanting to spend more time with their fave acts, a number of Fuji Rock ’10 artists will be doing additional gigs in Japan around the time of FRF.
After the washout that turned Orange Court into a quagmire on the first day of Fuji Rock last year, All Night Fuji was unfortunately cancelled. Get in early this year to be sure you don’t miss out!
In the wake of that washout, which saw us miss out on Ken Ishii and Towa Tei amongst others, DJ Bryan Burton-Lewis (pictured) organised the smoking party “All Night Fuji Revenge” at ageHa the following September, seeing many of the original lineup and a bevvy more perform at the superclub. This year, they’re getting in early, you know, just in case, and have organised Road To Fuji Rock 10 All Night Fuji Pre Party for about a month before FRF10, June 26th to be exact. This pre party, again at ageHa, will feature a host of FRF performers past and present, both live performers and DJs, including the ever popular Dexpistols slated to play this year on the Saturday, De De Mouse (who was a popular choice on the White Stage for the staff here at Fujirock.com in 2009), Ryukyudisco, Germany’s Pitchtuner, organiser Bryan Burton-Lewis will play a set, and more.
