Rising Sun Rock Festival '15

You'd be surprised how many Tokyoites make the pilgrimage to Hokkaido for this two-day affair, where the main stage keeps going until dawn on the second night. The lineup at Rising Sun consists purely of domestic acts, with local veterans Anzen Chitai and rock old-timer Motoharu Sano (with his Coyote Band) scheduled to appear this year, along with regulars like Scoobie Do, Dohatsuten, Hanaregumi and 10-Feet. The festival is also a gastronomic delight: look out for stalls selling locally farmed produce, seafood and craft beer.
