Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival has expanded the line-up for its 2023 edition, adding Weyes Blood, d4vd, Budos Band and more.

The festival first revealed its packed line-up on February 3, with Foo Fighters, Lizzo and The Strokes set to headline. Other artists include Lewis Capaldi, Alanis Morisette, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Balming Tiger, Ginger Root, Denzel Curry, and Black Midi. Fuji Rock Festival is set to be held at Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata this July 28 to 30.

Today (March 3) Fuji Rock added 34 more artists to the line-up and revealed the day-by-day breakdown of the festival. The Strokes will headline its first day on Friday with new additions Budos Band, Cory Henry, The Birthday, STUTS, Vegyn and more.

Foo Fighters will headline day two on Saturday, joined by fresh additions Weyes Blood, d4vd, Vaundy, Chilli Beans, Kotori and more.

Lizzo will close out the festival’s final day on Sunday, joined by fresh additions Yuki, The Blessed Madonna, John Carroll Kirby, Homecomings and more. Find the latest line-up below.

The second round of advance tickets is now available until June 1 via GanBan at JPY22,000 for a one-day ticket and JPY52,000 for all three days. Prices will increase to JPY23,000 for a one-day ticket and JPY55,000 for a three-day ticket during the general ticket sales.

Attendees under 22 years old will be entitled to discounted one-day tickets at JPY18,000 during all sales periods. Children aged 15 years and younger and accompanied by an adult can enter for free.

The 2022 edition of the festival featured the likes of Jack White, Halsey, Foals, Bonobo,  Fontaines D.C., Dinosaur Jr, Syd, Arlo Parks, Black Pumas, Tom Misch, Mura Masa, Hiatus Kaiyote, Superorganism, Japanese Breakfast, Snail Mail and more. The annual festival, which was established in 1997, welcomed international performers back last year following a 2021 edition comprising an all-Japanese line-up.
