Friday 15 and Saturday 16 November: Kool Thing, these are not one, but two evenings dedicated to alternative and independent music offered by the Antipode, in Rennes, with eight international groups on the Main Stage and two DJ sets in Le Club. Saturday will be marked by the return on stage of the Rennes group Totorro who are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their album Home Alone.

The one on November 16, dedicated to the general public, will offer numerous workshops to discover Breton media, the Rennes magazine La Vilaine or even a board game around journalism.
