The Eurockéennes de Belfort revealed this Thursday, November 28, new names of artists who will perform from July 3 to 6 during the 35th edition of the festival such as DJ Snake, Justice and Clara Luciani.
DJ Snake, Justice and Clara Luciani complete the program for the 35th edition of the Eurockéennes de Belfort which will give pride of place to the French scene from July 3 to 6, the organizers announced this Thursday, November 28.
“This year, we will have a few more French people than usual,” explained the director of “Eurocks”, Jean-Paul Roland, whose “challenge” was to attract international artists “rarer than usual “.
The star British metal group, Iron Maiden, had already announced in September that it would headline the next Franche-Comté festival.
Closing justice on the big stage
DJ Snake will also ignite the dancefloor, while the duo Justice will rock the Malsaucy peninsula, which is hosting the festival, with their new album “Hyperdrama”. Justice will close the main stage on Sunday evening July 6 with “a breathtaking light and video show,” warns programmer Kem Lalot.
The French scene will also be supported by the essential Clara Luciani, the surfing hits of La Femme, the colorful pop of Malik Djoudi, the hip-hop of Damso, SDM, Kalash and Tif or even the rock of Last Strain and the parodies Ultra Vomit.
“But by announcing artists from ten nationalities, we still achieved a tour de force,” rejoiced the director on Thursday when announcing the first 25 groups of the festival program.
Iron Maiden will share the evening of Thursday July 3 with the other British group The Raven Age and the Swedes Avatar. This will be one of only two French dates on their world tour for the British metal icons led by Bruce Dickinson.
Spotters of talent and new products
The guitars of the indie-rock sensation The Last Dinner Party, the Australians Royel Otis or the Londoners High Vis will be heard over the following days.
A scout for talent and new products, the festival will also offer specific artistic projects. The show “Gainsbourg Point Barre”, by Les Serge, supported by the Comédie-Française, will pay a vibrant tribute to the man with the head of cabbage.
The Bad Gyal Bouyon Lé Bon set will introduce festival-goers to bouyon, a dance step and musical style of West Indian origin.
“Our desire is to exhibit more ghetto sounds. But also to highlight female groups, with a discourse on the freedom of the body,” underlines Kem Lalot.
Around thirty additional artists will be announced in a few months, for the 127,000 expected festival-goers.
