Last additions to AVO J-Music Festival: DJ Nachtraaf, Yoshi Bento and Special Edition

With one week to go, let’s get into the latest details for AVO J-Music Festival! The festival will take place on Saturday 15 September at Zuiderparktheater in The Hague. Two bands will perform during the evening: goth unit REMNANT and electronic rock/metal band Esprit D’Air. But there is more… let’s get right into it!

DJ Nachtraaf

Last addition to the line-up is DJ Nachtraaf to make the evening of AVO J-Music Festival complete! Nachtraaf is a Dutch Electro-Industrial DJ that started back in 2012. He is the former frontman of The New Industrial Generation (TNIG) collective, which provided a platform for upcoming bands and DJs from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, and quickly gained notoriety by winning the Summer Darkness 2013 DJ contest. Nachtraaf is no stranger to AVO, in 2015 the DJ was the support act of REMNANT at 330 LIVE. The DJ will share his Japanese music collection during the festival by mixing the cool tracks altogether.

Timetable

The first band to perform is REMNANT, who is labelled as “a hauntingly beautiful electronic band” by Japan Jams. The goth unit will perform for one hour and after an intermezzo by DJ Nachtraaf, the last band of the evening, Esprit D’Air, this band will also perform for an hour. Japan Jams said the following about Esprit D’Air: “A brilliant mix of metal and electronic to create real catchy J-Rock!”

The timetable is as follows:

19.00 Doors open
19.00 – 20.00: DJ Nachtraaf
20.00 – 21.00: REMNANT
21.00 – 21.30: DJ Nachtraaf
21.30 – 22.30: Esprit D’Air

After the shows, DJ Nachtraaf will be performing until the doors of Zuiderparktheater closes. Both REMNANT and Esprit D’Air will have an own merchandise table, so you can buy your CDs, shirts and say hello to the bands.

How to order a ticket online?

For those who can’t read Dutch might have some difficulties with ordering the tickets for AVO J-Music Festival in the pre-sale. Here is some explanation to help you out!

If you visit the website of Zuiderparktheater on your PC, you will find the ticket system on the right side. Click on the menu to change the language.

“Toegang” is the name for a regular ticket. It includes service costs. If you are planning to consume a few drinks and food, it will be adviced by the theatre to buy “consumptiemunten”, they are coins to buy you drinks and food. On the day itself, you can buy coins as well.

For those who are an owner of a pass called Ooievaarspas (reduction pass), you can get your ticket for a lower price. If you have this pass (you have to take it with you when you want to enter the festival) you can choose “Toegang Ooievaarspas” to buy a ticket.

Click on Place order to complete your order. You need to register if you haven’t ordered before, but it is also possible to login with your Facebook account.

Don’t have a ticket on the day of the festival? No worries, you can get your tickets for € 11,00 at the door. From opening at 19.00 till the doors will close at 23.00, there is a possibility to get your Japanese snacks, candy and drinks at the food court.

Japanese food court

Yoshi Bento will offer at AVO J-Music Festival you karaage and Japanese vegetarian bitterballen, but also AVO’s mascotte, the onigiri. Yoshi Bento is a local company who offers typical Japanese bento’s for lunch and dinner. In the past, we did an interview with Yoshi Bento on AVO Magazine.

Are you more of a sweet tooth? Then you should visit the booth of Special Edition at AVO J-Music Festival, as this physical and online shop from Dordrecht will offer you the sweetness of Japan. Special Edition focuses on everything that has to do with Japan and anime and therefore fits perfectly with AVO J-Music Festival!

More information

For those who want to know more about the person behind AVO, Japan-related website JNL Team did an interview in English about the 15-year journey of AVO. If you want to know which songs from REMNANT and Esprit D’Air are recommended, then you should read the interview of Animeazing (in Dutch).

During AVO J-Music Festival, the filming crew of Miyako Studio will film the festival. The aftermovie will be presented after the festival. Please look forward to it.

Hope to see you next week at AVO J-Music Festival!
