Fuji Rock Festival. July 1997 – The inaugural Japanese Festival was struck by a typhoon on the opening day. Amazingly Red Hot Chili Peppers honoured their set and performed through the violent storm - frontman Anthony Keidis had a broken arm too. However, due to being somewhat under-prepared for the disastrous weather, the event was called off before the second day. The festival is now held in Naeba, Niigata Prefecture but has retained the 'Fuji' name.
