Shonen Knife @ Fuji Rock Festival 2002!!

Shonen Knife appeared at the Fuji Rock Festival this year! Naoko writes: "We enjoyed the Fuji Rock Festival very much. Our show was packed and more than 5000 people came to our stage and had fun! I was very happy about it. I saw some other bands and I had some time to play tennis at a tennis court in the hotel."

They were featured on the Red Marquee Stage on July 27, 2002! Other performers at this venue included Patti Smith, Cinematic Orchestra, The White Stripes, Billy Bragg, DJ Shadow and more. Check out the Official Fuji Rock Festival Online Site for all the details - you can click on the "English Version" button at top of the main page - it is a full-featured link. (For info about tickets for next years 2003 show, check the "tickets" link on the English page, when the event is finalized). For the list of performers featured on the various stages, click on the "Stage Acts" button.

The "archives" is an interesting link here, too: At the very first Fuji Rock Festival in 1997, Shonen Knife, Beck, Green Day, Massive Attack, Weezer, Prodigy and others - were scheduled to perform on the second day, July 27, 1997 - but a raging Typhoon named "Rosie" veered in from the Pacific suddenly and literally blew the stages away! Festival crews tried desparately to hold it all together - but the typhoon was devastating to the site & the festival had to be cancelled. (An account of the intensity of this storm & it's effect on the Festival, is found on the Knife News section here on the NeXuS - scroll down the page (it's long.....) near the bottom of your browser sidebar, and read the story of this - it was a storm of legendary proportions!

Shonen Knife DID appear the next year on August 1, 1998, at FujiRock & were very well received!! If you were fortunate enough to be in Japan for this great festival in July - we hope you didn't miss their 2002 return to Fuji Rock!
