A decade of braving the elements—and having her event canceled by a typhoon last year—finally led producer DJ Mayuri to move her rave indoors. This year’s Metamorphose is reborn as a more staid affair inside the cavernous confines of Makuhari Messe—the convention center familiar to fans of Summer Sonic et al. On the bill are a number of acts which were scheduled to play last year, such as leftfield indie-rock act Flaming Lips and hoary English techno duo Orbital, with new additions like Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz Sound System.
