The Futenma Flight Line Fair returns with a bang Oct. 5-6.

Two all-female rocker groups are hitting the stage as headliners for a fun event you won’t want to miss.

First up on Oct. 5, rock band Plush is bringing their top hits “Hate” and “Better Off Alone” all the way from New York City. Expect some great riffs from the band and awesome vocals from member Moriah Formica, who has been compared to Heart’s Ann Wilson. Plush will is slated to start their set at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Then, on Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m., internationally known and admired J-Pop Metal band BABYMETAL will take the stage.

This all-female group made a splash in 2014 when their debut album topped the iTunes metal charts in the U.S., U.K. and Germany. Their latest hit “RATATATATA” has also been at the top of the Billboard charts since its release in June.

 Aside from a solid musical lineup, the festivities will include some of the standard favorites that make this a popular event. Don’t miss the car show featuring over 200 vehicles, a display of USMC, USAF and JSDF aircraft and vehicles, MCCS Fun Land Rides and more.

Grab some awesome festival food and let’s rock out.
