Sunday’s performance also includes Okinawa's leading rock band, Murasaki, which began the whole festival concept back in 1983. It was ‘Murasaki Why Now’ that first year, and the event was so successful, it’s hard for organizers to hold back the numbers of bands who now want to perform on Okinawa. The festival runs July 9th and 10th, with gates opening at 1:00 p.m. A one-day ticket is ¥3,800 in advance or ¥4,300 at the gate, while a two-day ticket is ¥6,000. Advance tickets are available at Music Town Otoichiba, as well as Lawson and Family Mart convenient stores.
