It’s that time of year when the annual two days of music will be hitting the island’s sound waves. It’s been a long time since that first Peaceful Love Concert. It was held up north and we all sat, or should say baked, in the sun as the participants and viewers of the concert were strewn across a sea of makeshift seating on the freshly weed wacked hills. (By the end of the day, I looked like a freshly steamed lobster). This year the concert is being held on the Fourth of July weekend, July 1 and July 2, at the Okinawa City bull ring outside Kadena AB Gate 5. From what I understand, the J Pop-rock day, July 1, is about sold out. However, the heavier Hard and Classic Rock day, July 2, should still have some tickets available.
