Fuji Rock, the music festival known for being Japan's premier showcase for overseas acts, is going completely local this year.
Festival organizers announced via its website Friday that the 2021 lineup will consist entirely of Japan-based artists. The roster is set to be announced next month.
The announcement said the event will be a "special Fuji Rock under special circumstances," which means there will also be a reduced number of people allowed onto the festival grounds at Naeba Ski Resort, Niigata Prefecture, to avoid any congestion. It added that further limits and restrictions may be necessary.
