March 2, 201115 yr Author Splendour in the Grass (Australia) to share headliners with Fuji Rock Festival? Fuji provides more fodder for the Splendour rumour mill Last year Fuji Rock and Splendour shared a fleet of acts including Ash, Scissor Sisters, Miike Snow, Yeasayer, Foals and LCD Soundsystem. So the announcement of the Fuji lineup provides excellent fodder for our favourite late Summer game: Guess The Splendour Lineup. Summer Sonic, the other Japanese festival that traditionally acts as a bookend to Splendour, announced its lineup yesterday with the likes of The Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Two Door Cinema Club, PiL, Deerhunter, Primal Scream, Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All and an unnamed English act ( Blur? Beady Eye? PJ Harvey? ) catching our eye. The Fuji lineup is even more Splendour compatible with several Splendour alumni including Arctic Monkeys, Mogwai and Coldplay on the announcement of the festival’s first 26 acts. Fuji Rock will be held from Friday 29th July – Sunday 31st July.

March 8, 201115 yr There is already a thread about the Fuji Rock Festival http://coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75811
March 8, 201115 yr hm Well, actually Splendour In The Grass & Fuji Rock Festival to share line-ups but it seems SITG hopes this festival to be more indie. Also, in Korea, we have Pentaport Rock Festival and Jisan Valley Rock Festival. Especially, FRF shares headliners with JVRF. Last year, we (JVRF) took Massive Attack and Muse from FRF and we took Pet Shop Boys from Tahiland or somewhere else in Asia. Also Belle & Sebastian, Vampire Weekend, Kular Shaker etc.. Plus, there was a strong rumor that Coldplay will be headlining last week. But last night, one of music communities in Korea, announced we couldn't afford Coldplay so it can be cancelled.
July 23, 201115 yr What about the nuclear issue in japan? ANY URL FOR A LIVESTREAM TO VIEW FUJI ROCK? ANYONE RECORDING IT!?
