Fuji Rock's 30th edition is set for 23–25 July 2027 at Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata. The dates were announced at the 2026 festival itself, and the organiser had not published 2027 ticket details at review.
01 · Event details
Timing: 23–25 July 2027 · 30th edition, Naeba
Venue or host area: Naeba Ski Resort in Yuzawa, Niigata Prefecture, a mountain site with stages spread across slopes and a boardwalk between them. The marker shows the resort town, not a stage or campsite.
Access: Entry is by festival ticket, with camping and shuttle packages sold as separate products in previous years. The 2027 dates are announced but prices, sale dates and ticket types had not been published at review.
02 · Plan the visit
Access is by shuttle from Echigo-Yuzawa station on the Joetsu Shinkansen, with the transfer sold as part of the festival's travel arrangements; the site is a ski resort in summer, so the terrain is steep and the weather changeable. Camping is on the mountain and sells separately. Rain is common even in late July, and the walk between the main stages crosses a suspension bridge that becomes a bottleneck at headline times.
03 · Location
A ski resort in the mountains of Niigata Prefecture, reached through Echigo-Yuzawa on the Joetsu Shinkansen rather than by road from Tokyo.

04 · Overview
A three-day music festival at the Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata, Japan, held in late July across a mountainside site reached by gondola and shuttle bus. The main Green Stage sits at the bottom of the slope, with the White Stage, Red Marquee and smaller areas up the mountain, and most visitors camp or stay in the surrounding resort hotels.
Fuji Rock is Asia's best-known festival and the one with the most unusual setting: stages sit on a ski slope, the site is reached by gondola, and the weather — rain, mud and heat in the same weekend — is part of its reputation. It is also famously clean, with a culture of carrying rubbish home and a site that is returned to the mountain in better condition than it was found.
The first Fuji Rock was held in 1997 at a different site and was hit by a typhoon; it moved to Naeba in 1999 and has been held there every year since. The festival has grown from a single main stage to a multi-stage site with camping, and the 2027 edition is the 30th, still organised by Smash.
