Mokudo Tei, Naeba Shokudo and their delights.

Newly announced acts in the intimate zones!

Mokudo Tei is the official name for what most of us know as one of "the Boardwalk" areas, and is looking like it might be an interesting little place to find yourself over the three days. Connecting the White and Green stages (one way only, White to Green) Mokudo Tei has a but a couple of acts announced so far each day. Catch singer songwriterJustin Nozuka strumming his acoustic guitar at 1:45pm on the Friday on your way from Harada Ikuko on the White (12:50-1:30) through to the insanely poplar quruli who head on to the Green at 2:20pm. Saunter on down for Riddim Saunter's accoustic set at 3:30PM.

On the Saturday, expect YAOAO from Dachambo at 2pm, and another yet to be announced act from 4. Sunday sees The Hard-Core Junk Abstract One Man Rock Band! (his own description!) Boot Ton Del in a small show that promises to be a highlight of the festival for those lucky enough to catch it. He'll start from 3. Round this lot out with Yukawa Shione at 5pm on the Sunday and what you have here is a terrific relaxing oasis amongst the trees!

Naeba Shokudo is another wonderful little place, this time right in the middle of the international food court area. Cafe and relaxing space during the daylight hours, it transforms around 6pm or so each evening, playing host to some of the more, shall we say, interesting, acts of the show. Ranging from the laidback string sounds of Chopiiinkicking off the stage on the Friday night, through to Blues The Butcher finishing things off on the Sunday, there are a plethora of acts to be sampled in this terrific little place. Be early for Seasick Steve and perennial Fuji Rock Favourites Big Willie's Burlesque (how many years is it now?) at 6:30pm and 7:40pm respectively on the Saturday. Get down there for some great entertainment while you chow down!

Hooray for the small stages!!
