Fuji Rock festival

Now this sounds like a really nice festival to attend - if you can get to Japan:

Quote:

how many UK festival-goers would happily leave their valuables lying on picnic rugs while they popped off to buy lunch?

And where else would queues for recycling bins be longer than those for beer?

Smokers even diligently pop their butts into portable ashtrays.

This Japanese fixation on tidiness and recycling creates a pleasant and enjoyable space for watching music - enhancing a site which is already breathtaking.

The various stages are dotted along the Naeba valley (a ski resort in the winter) and everything is interconnected by winding paths, picturesque boardwalks and meandering streams.

Stages are dwarfed by a green wall of mountains and one performance space is reached only by a 5.4km cable car ride.

Decent line up, too:

includes:

Jarvis Cocker
Iggy and the Stooges
Kaiser Chiefs
The Cure
Chemical Brothers

Think I wish I was closer to Japan at the moment.
