“Bringing lightness”
To enjoy themselves at the Irréductible, they presented their voter cards.

But without political label.
“Whatever happens and whatever the outcome of the elections, we will continue. Saturday evening, we participated in Breton dances in front of the Celkilt group. This is the mix we want. »
Eiffel next year
With 13,000 entries this year and 400 volunteers (9,000 entries last year), a second stage, a square organization and an atmosphere as family and friendly as it is festive, the Irréducible enters the big leagues. To celebrate, next year, the Eiffel group is already scheduled and the electro scene could be organized under a marquee with the DJ in the middle and the group around.
