X JAPAN、LUNA SEA、GLAYなど、1980年〜90年代に日本の音楽シーンを牽引した「ヴィジュアル系」と称されるバンドが一堂に集まる10万人規模の音楽フェスが千葉市の幕張メッセで2016年10月14〜16日の3日間行われることが7月25日、発表された。
25日に行われた記者会見には、X JAPANのYOSHIKIと、SUGIZO（LUNA SEA, X JAPAN）、TAKURO（GLAY）が登場して意気込みを語った。
YOSHIKIは「滞っている音楽シーンに挑戦状をたたきつけるようなつもりで」。SUGIZOは「ヴィジュアル系と言っても、実は音楽ジャンルは多岐にわたっている。ロックからポップ、お笑い系まで様々なアーティストが出演予定です」と語り、盛り上げた。
3日間合計で数十組のアーティストが出演すると発表されたが、3組以外は今後、順次発表となる見込み。ギタリストのPATAが緊急入院し、活動を一時休止していたX JAPANは、このフェスから復活するという。

At both the beginning and the end of the \'90s, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were one of the biggest alt rock bands in the world.

Silverchair (THEN)(26 of113)

Radiohead (THEN)(28 of113)
The \'90s alt rock scene was where Radiohead developed into a world class rock and roll band with two of their most popular albums \"The Bends\" and \"OK Computer.\" They created material that would be copied by bands like Coldplay and Travis into the new millennium, which ultimately led them to change their sound into something more experimental in the 2000s. (credit:Photoshot via Getty Images)
Radiohead (NOW)(29 of113)
Although they don\'t tour and release music as frequently anymore, Radiohead remains one of the most popular and respected rock bands in the world. They began working on a new album this past fall and it should be released sometime next year. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Green Day (THEN)(30 of113)
In the mid-\'90s, Green Day went from an underground punk band from San Francisco to mainstream alt-rock superstars with the release of their album \"Dookie.\" Songs like \"Basket Case\" and \"When I Come Around\" made Green Day a household name. Their popularity sunk in the late-90s but the band returned to superstardom in the mid-2000s with \"American Idiot.\" (credit:NBC via Getty Images)
Green Day (NOW)(31 of113)
Despite a very public meltdown and rehab stint for singer Billie Joe Armstrong as well as a sub-par trio of albums released in 2013, Green Day is still an internationally huge band today thanks to a few big releases over the past decade that re-launched the band for a new generation.

Fatboy Slim (THEN)(34 of113)
Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim was one of the only DJs in the \'90s to become a mainstream star on alt rock radio. His album \"You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby\" from 1998 was a huge smash with singles like \"The Rockafeller Skank\" and \"Praise You.\" (credit:Mick Hutson via Getty Images)
Fatboy Slim (NOW)(35 of113)
Now 51 years old, he\'s still an active DJ, although Cook hasn\'t released any new music as Fatboy Slim since 2010. But he has spent time in rehab in recent years for alcohol addiction. (credit:Jon Furniss/Invision/AP)
Rage Against The Machine (THEN) (36 of113)
Rage Against the Machine was a one-of-a-kind band in the \'90s and was never duplicated. They created rap metal, their own brand of alt rock and cranked out three solid albums in that decade. They also wrote the greatest modern protest song of all time, \"Killing in the Name.\" They broke up in 2000 due to creative differences in the band. Singer Zach de la Rocha left to work on his own music (which has never come out) and the rest of the band formed Audioslave with Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell. (credit:Ebet Roberts via Getty Images)
Rage Against The Machine (NOW)(37 of113)
Rage reunited from 2007 to 2011 to play sporadic festival shows and one-of gigs. They are listed as being on hiatus, although drummer Brad Wilk has said the band will most likely never play again. But Tom Morello keeps busy with political activism and his folk-rock act The Nightwatchman. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Garbage (THEN)(40 of113)
Garbage started as an alt rock super group with producers Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and singer Shirley Manson in the mid-2000s. Their first two albums of dark, catchy, slick alt-rock helped the band sell several million copies internationally with big songs like \"I\'m Only Happy When It Rains.\" (credit:Mick Hutson via Getty Images)
Garbage (NOW)(41 of113)
Garbage is still a band today, however their popularity was left in the \'90s for the most part. Because of the band members’ production work, Garbage rarely releases albums. Their last LP \"Not Your Kind Of People\" was released in 2012 and they toured last year. (credit:Robb Cohen/Invision/AP)

Soundgarden (THEN)(44 of113)
Soundgarden was one of the biggest bands to ever come out of Seattle in the \'90s, as well as a corner stone for grunge and alt-rock. They helped shape the genre in the early part of the decade and found mainstream success from their album \"Superunknown\" thanks to giant singles like \"Spoonman\" and \"Black Hole Sun.\" The band broke up in 1997 due to creative differences. It led to an embarrassing solo album by singer Chris Cornell in the first decade of the 2000s. (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)
Soundgarden (NOW)(45 of113)
Soundgarden got back together in 2010. They released a new album called \"King Animal\" in 2012 and opened for Nine Inch Nails this past summer, exactly 20 years after their last joint-tour when NIN was the opening act. (credit:Jack Plunkett/Invision/AP)
The Breeders (THEN)(46 of113)
The Breeders began as Kim Deal\'s side project from the Pixies that she started with Tanya Donelly from Throwing Muses. The Breeders released two albums and two EPs in the \'90s, their most popular being 1993\'s \'The Last Splash\' which featured the fuzzy, garage rock butt-kicker \"Cannonball.\" Although the Breeders were never a mainstream commercial band, they were critically acclaimed and earned a pretty decent cult following. (credit:Steve Eichner via Getty Images)
The Breeders (NOW)(47 of113)
Despite hiatuses and time off here and there, The Breeders are still a band. They reunited to their \'The Last Splash\' line-up a few years back to tour behind the 20th anniversary re-release of the classic \'90s alt-rock album. The line-up is still currently locked in, although there is no word on new materiel being released in the near future. (credit:John Davisson/Invision/AP)
Bush (THEN)(48 of113)
England\'s Bush (or Bush X as us older alt-rock fans might remember them) was huge for a few years in the \'90s. The Gavin Rossdale-led alt-rockers had two big albums in the middle of the decade in \"Sixteen Stone\" and \"Razorblade Suitcase.\" After falling out of popularity in the late \'90s, they broke up in 2002.

Bush (NOW)(49 of113)

Foo Fighters (THEN)(50 of113)
When Kurt Cobain died, so did Nirvana. Drummer Dave Grohl decided to start the Foo Fighters all by himself and released the Foo\'s self-titled album in 1995. The album was a hit with songs like \"This is a Call,\" so Grohl recruited a band that included Nate Mendel and Pat Smear, and the rest is history. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)

The band lost popularity in the late \'90s before mounting a major comeback with their dub-rock album \"Rock Steady\" in 2001. They went on hiatus in 2004 after their most successful run as a band.

Smashing Pumpkins (THEN)(100 of113)
The Smashing Pumpkins in their original, \'90s form were so good. Between \"Siamese Dream,\" \"Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness\" and \"Adore,\" the Smashing Pumpkins proved to be dynamic, cutting edge and one of the greatest bands of that decade. But then drugs in the band and Billy Corgan\'s ego clashed and he fired all the original members. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Smashing Pumpkins (NOW)(101 of113)
These days Billy Corgan treats the Smashing Pumpkins just like Axl Rose treats Guns ‘\'N Roses. It\'s Corgan touring alone with hired musicians. He still releases albums. They’re not great and nobody seems to want them. But they keep coming. He also seems to like to only play the new stuff live, which is frustrating to many a longtime Pumpkins fan.

Hole (THEN)(102 of113)
No matter what your feelings are about Courtney Love and her public behaviour, you have to admire the success and strides that she made with her band Hole in the \'90s. With the three albums they released in that decade, Hole became one of the biggest female fronted bands of all time. Hole\'s heavy songs dealing with feminist issues and a female perspective, they sold over 3 million albums in the US alone in the \'90s and received several Grammy nominations. Thanks to Courtney Love\'s erratic behaviour and a constantly rotating band line-up, Hole broke up in 2002. Love tried to reform the band in 2009 without founding member Eric Erlandson and a completely new line up. They released one album then broke up again. (credit:Mick Hutson via Getty Images)
Hole (NOW)(103 of113)
Courtney Love has openly said she is working on new material for Hole and that a reunion with her original line-up from the \'90s is a strong possibility. Courtney Love says lots of things, so only time will tell. \n (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
