I went last year - acts aside i wouldn't recommend it. It's really two seperate festivals with a long walk or bus ride in between them... but not like walking across glastonbury where there's things to do - more like walking alongside a dual carriageway surrounded by sky scrapers a very long way from the more interesting parts of tokyo. The main stage is inside a stadium which you have to queue to get in, they only open the gates periodically and when you get in half the standing area is taken up by long winding paths you have to walk through to get to the main area. Most of the other stages are on a seperate site which is all indoors in a souless exhibition centre.

Fuji rock was many many times better...
