History
[edit]Following the departure announcement of Rock in Japan Festival from Hitachi Seaside Park in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki at the start of 2022, Yoshito Hori, the owner of Ibaraki broadcaster LuckyFM Ibaraki Broadcasting System decided to create a new music festival at the vacated location, with himself as self-appointed festival producer.[2][3][4] A crowdfunding campaign for the new festival raised over ¥30 million yen on ReadyFor by April 2022.[5] LuckyFM Green Festival or LuckyFes in short was held for the first time on July 23-24, 2022 as a two-day event.[6] The festival became a three-day event in 2023.
Illustrator Jun Inagawa was appointed as art and creative director in 2023 to oversee the public art exhibition on the festival grounds.[7]
