09 March 2007 Rock festival hits Japan this summer
Music fans who did not register for Glastonbury in time may want to head to Asia for the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan this summer.
Visitors to the event will be able to watch bands such as Ash, the Kaiser Chiefs and Ataris perform to thousands.
Previous bands to perform at the far east festival include Oasis and the Red Hot Chili Peppers - two shows that a number of Britons would have gone to see.
According to Inside Japan Tours, the toilets at the Fuji Rock Festival are a whole lot cleaner than those at Glastonbury, while it is "a festival where the original counter-culture ideals of Glastonbury still hold true".
The company also indicates that the event is free from the commercial culture which is starting to resonate around south-west England's most famous music carnival.
Less well-known bands such as The John Butler Trio and Justice will also be appearing in Japan during the three days between July 27th and 29th 2007.
