In the spirit of Fatboy Slim’s Big Beach Boutique fest—and with the imprimatur of the UK dance mastermind himself—comes the second edition of Japan’s own seaside music extravaganza. Last year’s inaugural event saw some 20,000 turn out in Chiba, and with a set by psychedelic techno warriors the Chemical Brothers, the 2010 version looks to draw similar numbers. Fellow UK dance-music veterans Sasha and Groove Armada (right) follow on a bill that also features newcomers like the mysterious, costumed 2 Bears, German electro collective Dancing Pigeons, and Ibiza scenester Tania Vulcano.
“Big Beach Festival ‘10”
Outdoor fest featuring The Chemical Brothers (DJ set), Sasha and others. June 5, 11am, ¥9,500. Makuhari Kaihin Park. http://bigbeach-fes.com
