Music in an outdoor shrine setting

The front area will use chairs and the rear will be standing. Small portable chairs are permitted according to the official guide, but follow staff directions and the numbered-entry procedure from 17:30.
Food stalls and the ticket-free period
Food, alcoholic drinks and soft drinks begin from 16:00, when wristband and drink exchange also starts. Visitors without concert tickets may enter the grounds until 17:00 and sample the pre-show atmosphere; after 17:00, entry is limited to ticket holders. A wristband allows re-entry during the ticketed period. Stall offerings may be updated closer to the date.
Getting there and weather planning
Kego Shrine is in the heart of Tenjin, about three minutes on foot from Tenjin subway station and close to Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station and the express-bus terminal. Because this is an outdoor event, bring rain protection that does not obstruct other guests and check the official social accounts on the day. Light rain is acceptable, but severe weather may lead to cancellation.
