Le Havre. Find all the photos and videos from the first evening of the Ouest Park festival

Saturday 19th October 2024 11:19 AM

The festival that puts you in the west, north and south? It’s West Park! On the main stage of the big top, at the Tétris, on the side stages and even outside, the public enjoys wandering between headliners, discovering groups and the family atmosphere always with that little touch of madness which is the signature of the festival from Le Havre.

Friday October 18, 2024, it was Danakil who started the groove on the main stage. The collective made the Tourneville fort dance to its oscillating rhythms between world music and reggae. Nothing better to put a smile on your face and get the jibes moving.

Low met le feu

Change of atmosphere with the unclassifiable rap of Yamé. The musicality of his rap, his stage performance and his unique voice absolutely delighted the audience. Ouest Park does not do half-measures when it comes to the artists invited to perform.

But it was Niska who completely set the marquee on fire, bringing together all the generations. For the penultimate date of his tour, the rapper gave a totally crazy concert. “Besides, I have a friend who told me: we save the best for last. Le Havre influences Paris, Le Havre influences the world »launched the singer as he arrived on stage, further electrifying an already totally conquered and white-hot room. With generosity, Niska played a duet with the audience then, when he asked “Are you tired? »there are hundreds of them screaming “We’re not tired!” »

“Le Havre capital of rap! »

For this first evening at Ouest Park, Niska was right when she said: “Tonight, Le Havre is the capital of rap”. But Ouest Park isn’t just headliners and it’s not just rap, we know that well. There are also strange, surprising or very beautiful discoveries. Paris Normandy’s favorite definitely goes to Faada Freddy. The group uses no other instrument than their voices, which they all have incredible. “It’s a crazy thing! »says Margot, a spectator surprised, like so many others, by this performance. The soul of Faada Fredy, inspired by gospel, transports you elsewhere. Where, we don’t know, but what pleasure and what energy!

The Ouest Park festival continues this Saturday, October 19, 2024 at Fort Tourneville in Le Havre with boss MC Solaar but also Luther, for rap, The Stranglers, the kings of rock and even the electro pop of French 79.
