A klatch of Japan’s hippest bands gather at a forest in Ibaraki Prefecture to celebrate all things groovy and arty as the summer festival season gets underway. The most mainstream among the acts are punk icons Eastern Youth and mellow collective Overground Acoustic Underground. Things then get more interesting with the leftfield J-pop doowop of Salyu x Salyu and tribal rock of OOIOO. Even edgier should be a performance featuring Norwegian Terje Isungset, who fashions instruments from ice, and contemporary dancer Maika Misumi.

May 28, 10am, ¥10,000. Kasama Artforest Park, Ibaraki. http://s-o-w.jp
