History - 1999

Fuji Rock Festival 99 picture

What happened?

The first year in Naeba, Niigata was also the year FRF became a 3-day event.

Green stage, White stage, Field of Heaven, Dance Tent and Rookie Stage were all born, reflecting the landscape of the site.

70,000 people and over 100 artists enjoyed the different atmospheres created by each stage, with multiple live performances happening simultaneously across the festival site.

A special note for this year was the rubbish clearing campaign organised by 300 volunteers. This helped the Festival in '99 be known by the international media as the 'Clean Festival' and created a Festival spirit shared among music loving audience, artists and crew.
