3 The Labyrinth
Niigata, Japan
Set on the cusp of a lake just a few hours from Tokyo, The Labyrinth began as a Goa trance-fuelled rave back in the late 90s, however it's come a long way since its inception and is now revered by techno enthusiasts across the world as one of the places the throw down.
There is only one stage, a giant tepee, as organisers believe in a shared experience across all attendees. The valley where it sits makes most British vales look like not much more than a divot, and its simplistic set up really comes to life at night, when the high-stacked soundsystem and tepee is illuminated to look like something from the imagination of H. G. Wells.
The Labyrinth takes place in mid September
