The 8x8 MUSIC FESTIVAL Executive Committee (Executive Committee Chair: Makoto Ozeki) has decided to hold the "8x8 MUSIC FESTIVAL 2027," a music festival set in the southern area of Fukuoka Prefecture. Following the first and second editions, the festival will feature live performances by a star-studded lineup of artists, as well as an area where visitors can fully experience the region's charm. Collaboration with Regional Culture Media "edition" to Launch an All-Year-Round Regional Information Dissemination Project This initiative aims to continuously deliver the region's attractions and challenges throughout the year. "edition" is a culture media outlet that covers and edits the stories of people, culture, food, craftsmanship, and art challenging themselves in the region, and disseminates their value. The 8x8 MUSIC FESTIVAL is the culmination of this effort, an event that connects the region through music. We will disseminate new charms of southern Fukuoka Prefecture while leveraging our respective roles. Main Collaboration Details (Planned) - Production of feature and interview articles related to the 8x8 MUSIC FESTIVAL - Interviews with regional businesses and creators supporting the festival - Feature planning on culture, food culture, tourism, and craftsmanship in the Fukuoka Chikugo surrounding areas - Dissemination of regional touring content for festival attendees - Production of video and article content introducing people challenging themselves in the region The 8x8 MUSIC FESTIVAL is a "place for real experiences," and edition is a "media that delivers regional stories." While both projects are independent initiatives, they will disseminate information throughout the year, including before and after the festival, based on the common philosophy of "re-recognizing the region's charm and delivering it to more people." We will deepen our collaboration while respecting each other's uniqueness, and work to create opportunities for new exchanges and challenges to
