About GROW THE CULTURE OPEN AIR

This is the only outdoor festival in Japan that focuses on bass music. In its inaugural event held in 2022, we invited Sully and Dwarde from the UK, and in the second event held in 2024, we invited Denham Audio and Mani Festo, also from the UK. The sound system was fully equipped with VOID Acoustics, featuring an all-night performance lasting about 20 hours. This time, we have invited Addison Groove and Commodo from the UK, and the highly anticipated ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U will make their debut at GTC.

About volunteer staff

I think there are many people who are interested in outdoor festivals and want to go, but don't have the opportunity. With that in mind, we hope that those people will participate, and we also want to encourage those who want to learn about the behind-the-scenes of outdoor events to join us. Therefore, for the first time, we are recruiting volunteer staff.
