DJ Snake, Justice and Clara Luciani are joining the lineup for the 35th edition of the Eurockéennes de Belfort, which will highlight the French scene from July 3 to 6, the organizers announced Thursday, November 28. « This year, we will have a few more French people than usual », explained Jean-Paul Roland, director of Eurockéennes, whose « challenge » was to attract international artists « rarer than usual ».
The grand finale for Justice
The star British metal group, Iron Maiden, had already announced in September that it would headline the next Franche-Comté festival. 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 July 6 with “a breathtaking light and video show”warns programmer Kem Lalot. The French scene will be represented by essential artists such as Clara Luciani, La Femme, Malik Djoudi, Damso, SDM, Kalash, Tif, Last Strain and Ultra Vomit. “By announcing artists from ten nationalities, we have achieved a real tour de force”rejoiced the director when announcing the first 25 groups in the program.
Iron Maiden will share the stage on Thursday July 3 with their compatriots from The Raven Age and the Swedes from Avatar. This will be one of only two French dates on their world tour for the British metal icons led by Bruce Dickinson. The following days will also see the guitars of indie-rock sensations The Last Dinner Party, Australians Royel Otis and Londoners High Vis.
New talents
A scout for talent and new products, the festival will also offer original artistic projects. The show Gainsbourg Point Barre by Les Serge, supported by the Comédie-Française, will pay a vibrant tribute to the cabbage-headed man. The plateau Bad Gyal Bouyon Lé Bon will offer festival-goers an immersion in the bouyon, a dance step and a musical style of West Indian origin. “Our desire is to highlight more ghetto sounds, but also to promote female groups and to address the question of bodily freedom,” underlines Kem Lalot. Around thirty additional artists will be announced in the coming months for the 127,000 expected festival-goers.
