Imabari's New Sensation Music Festival "FABRIC SOUND" Born from "Towel Culture" to Be Held

The Towel Museum, operated by Ichikyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture), will host the relaxed music festival "FABRIC SOUND" at the Towel Museum outdoor garden area for two days on Saturday, May 23rd and Sunday, May 24th, 2026. This event is a new style of music event, conceived against the backdrop of Imabari's unique culture as a renowned towel production area. Its concept is "a festival where you can lay out a beautiful towel on the grass, enjoy music to your heart's content, and spend a relaxing and leisurely time." Under the blue sky, on soft grass, attendees can lay out towels and enjoy music in their own way. ◆ What is FABRIC SOUND? As its name, a combination of "Fabric" and "Sound," suggests, just as threads intertwine to form a single piece of fabric, music, air, human voices, and environmental sounds intertwine to create a special space unique to that day. Lie down on the grass, enveloped in a towel, and feel the music— Not just "listening" to music, but "experiencing" it. Utilizing Imabari's towel culture and natural environment, the festival offers a unique local experiential value. ◆ Appearing Artists & Timetable [May 23rd (Sat)] Michael Kaneko｜Hana Hope｜Tabito Nao｜CENT/Chiharu Chitti｜ROTH BART BARON (SOLO) [May 24th (Sun)] kojikoji｜Chippoke Ohashi｜Sarasa｜Huwie Ishizaki ◆ Producer This event is produced by Creative Producer Remi Anri Doi.
