All roads lead to Fuji
Anyone with music-mad friends must have been asked this question a lot recently: Are you going to Fuji?
Japan's Fuji Rock Festival is being staged from July 27 to 29, and if you've been before you'll understand why the event seems to pull people back year after year: three days of world-class music spread over a naturally stunning site and thousands on thousands of people having a good time.
Although the overall good-time vibe is a big attraction, it's music you're there to hear. This year, the stellar lineup includes the reunited Iggy and the Stooges, the Kaiser Chiefs, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, the Ataris and Jonathan Richman.
Goth-rock heroes the Cure will be making their first appearance in Japan for 23 years and hopes are still high that they'll play a show in Hong Kong soon after.
Overseas sales have already started, so get your skates on if you plan on attending because tickets always sell out - more than 120,000 of them.
