LuckyFes (Japanese: ラッキーフェス, Hepburn: Rakkii Fesu) is an annual three-day music festival held mid-July in Hitachi Seaside Park, Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan, organized by Ibaraki Broadcast System (LuckyFM). The line-up contains Japanese musicians from major and independent record companies.
History
Following the departure announcement of Rock in Japan Festival from Hitachi Seaside Park in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki at the start of 2022, Yoshito Hori, the owner of Ibaraki broadcaster Ibaraki Broadcast System (LuckyFM) decided to create a new music festival at the vacated location, with himself as self-appointed festival producer.[2][3][4] A crowdfunding campaign for the new festival raised over ¥30 million yen on ReadyFor by April 2022.[5] LuckyFM Green Festival or LuckyFes in short was held for the first time on July 23-24, 2022.[6] The festival started off as a two-day event and became a 3-day festival in 2023.
Illustrator Jun Inagawa was appointed as art and creative director in 2023 to oversee the public art exhibition on the festival grounds.[7]
