    We’re back, and in a big way! No half-measures this year like social distancing and no alcohol sales but ramping it up like Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters said it, “Full Fuji.”

    “Palace of Wonder”

    Sitting majestically on top of a hill, the Spiegel Tent was a beacon for those who dug deep inside of themselves and wanted one more party. Sure there were the purists who thought the old location was better, but I’m not going to waste words discussing this. And it’s a big up for those that made it happen, balancing a 100-year old tent on uneven ground, and even pulling it out of a container after four years of moldy storage. The art was back thanks to Debs and Strapper and the crew, who are the blood and sweat of the festival.

    Aside from the unique opportunity to see our favorite bands in beautiful natural mountainous surroundings, one of the best things about Fuji Rock Festival is how relaxing and comfortable the gathering can be, even among upwards of 100,000 attendees in past years. This is made possible in part by everyone minding their manners and cooperating together to make Fuji Rock the best festival it can be. With just a bit of common sense, an awareness of our surroundings, and by following just a few guidelines we can continue to keep Fuji Rock a truly special experience year after year. Here are just a few of the most important things to keep in mind once you step onto the festival grounds this summer.

    Int’l Clash Day Friday Feb 7


    84149995_707811409754256_2968242019840819200_nFriday is International Clash Day, a celebration of the life, work, music, and politics of “The Only Band That Matters“. Begun seven years ago because of a “listener request”,  Seattle’s  KEXP enlisted 110 radio stations around the world to host special broadcasts and live events ala “Radio Clash” from London to Uruguay.

    So lift your jug like Clash front-man Joe Strummer, who is pictured here outside the Fuji Rock entrance way back in the day. And here’s a fun fact, Joe Strummer’s birthday, August 21, coincides with the start of this year’s festival. Call it synchronicity or happenstance, but you gotta believe their will probably be a few covers and on-stage tributes as well as many  t-shirts and Mohawks championing The Clash’s  anti-hate, anti-racism message.
