I was very happy to see that Kikagaku Moyo had been added to the Roskilde Festival lineup for 2019. Then the running order was announced. Dang! Not only were they playing at the same time as The Cure, but they were also overlapping Behemoth. I ended up watching the entire (now infamous–due to certain activities in the pit) Behemoth set from the front row and catching a bit of The Cure and Kikagaku Moyo after.

I would love to see Kikagaku Moyo again, and they are coming to Oregon. However, they are playing in Eugene on a Monday night, and I have to teach in Ashland (3 hours away) on Tuesday morning so that won’t happen. 🙁

Today’s photo comes from my last time in Japan, much too long ago as I haven’t been back in over six years now.

This year’s festival is the 40th annual and takes place this Saturday (August 10, 2019). If you happen to be in Japan, you may want to head over to Inuyama for a wonderful evening. Lots to do during the day in Inuyama as well, including the Meiji Mura open air museum.
