Marco Shuttle, Barrio Lindo, DJ Nobu, Ground & more to perform at Agaitida festival
The two-day open air event graces Okinawa's Kunigami Village World Heritage Site next month
Making a triumphant return to Okinawa this year, the highly anticipated revival of Agaitida marks the resurgence of a sonic event series crafted by its organizers since New Year's Eve 2015, with each edition held once every two years.
The name 'Agaitida' derives from an Okinawan dialect, representing the profound significance of sunrise.
Presenting arguably the most concentrated house and techno line-up in Agaitida's history, this year's event showcases a stellar assembly of four renowned international artists as well as pioneering talents hailing from Okinawa, Tokyo, Kansai, and Hokkaido.
Among them are Aoki Takamasa, Barrio Lindo, Marco Shuttle, Gonno, DJ Nobu, DJ Yazi and Ground.
