This new edition will be more “intimate“, details the director of the festival: against three stages in 2019, there will be only one.”It’s an evil for a good“, tempers Pierre Clément,”This leads us to work on a significantly different edition, particularly with regard to the wandering of festival-goers. Our goal is to bring a whole universe of social engagement to life at the center of the festival, but it’s easier when you go from one stage to another, because you cross the ‘village’. We had to work on another location and create areas of attractiveness that push the viewer to be curious and to leave his stage..”

While ticket sales have just started to take off since the start of the week, Pierre Clément hopes that spectators will be there. “We want to tell the public that these are just promises. That’s it, we’re on the set, we’ve set up a festival! It’s for you, go for it!“
