If you’re still full of beans after the Red Hot Chilli Peppers on Sunday night, here’s a run down of the bands playing the Rookie stage.

 Sunday

23:00 Hero Complex

If you still need a little more rock ‘n roll to your day, this punk band will sort you out!

00:00 Six Lounge

Rock-lite with a good punchy vibe.

01:00 Hitsuji Bungaku

Female-fronted three-piece who may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but will probably/hopefully surprise us all.

02:00 South Penguin

Summery indie and penguins. That’s all you need to know.

03:00 Mono No Aware

Spacey rock at 3am in the morning? These guys sound like good come down from the weekend and worth hanging out to see.

Can’t stay up all night? Don’t worry the Fuji Rock Express team will be reporting back from the Rookie Stage so keep your eye out on the Fuji Rock Express blog if you missed any of the bands.
