Sounds like this band has a heavy itinerary this summer - they're not playing at Benicassim (Fiberfib - Spain) are they?
It's pretty small window between other dates, so we haven't found any other opportunities nearby. And I'm pretty sure that we're not doing Benicassim.

Naeba which is ~ a 3 hr car ride or a longer train ride from Tokyo. Maybe a moot point if your friends can arrange for chopper service (several headliners did this last year; notably Franz Ferdinand, RHCP & other headliners).
Sorry to hear you're taking a pass on the venue. It is an absolutely wonderful festival (see other thread on Fujirock in this forum).
FWIW, there may be some other posters who appear to work in your capacity
<cough....anonymous> who have already chimed in on the Fujirock thread.
Thanks. It is an appealing option, but we've got some other great opportunities in Europe and other places that seem to make more sense for touring.
The truth is that I am a part owner of the label, but primarily a silent partner with my own separate life/work. I do get called on for travel questions and have gotten more and more involved as we tour farther afield internationally, though.
I'll look at the Fujirock thread and see what there is to see..
Thanks for the info. ^
