“2023 was the year of comeback in a big way. 2024 will be an even bigger edition,” promised Matthieu Pigasse, president of the Eurockéennes de Belfort which brought together 125,000 spectators this year. “We wanted this program to be as eclectic as possible,” added Jean-Paul Roland, director of the music festival, which will be held from Thursday July 4 to Sunday July 7.
The program was unveiled on Thursday. Lenny Kravitz, Bigflo & Oli, Kaaris and Black Pumas will be the first headliners announced on the Eurockéennes stage next summer. David Guetta will thus be the headliner on Sunday, now intended for a single artist. After Daft Punk in 1996 and 2006, and DJ Snake in 2017, the Parisian will complete the list of electro stars passed by Belfort. “It will be its only French festival this year,” underlined Kem Lalot, the programmer.
All the programming in February
Among the twenty-four artist names revealed on Thursday (out of sixty in total), we will also note on the rock side the Canadians of Sum 41, who will play on Saturday July 6 for their first appearance at the Eurockéennes. Lenny Kravitz, who is releasing a new album soon, will make his return to the Malsaucy peninsula, twenty-five years after his first visit, and the long-awaited duo Black Pumas should finally perform in front of the Belfort public. , they who were to play there in 2020, 2021 and 2022. But their concerts had each time been canceled, due to Covid-19 the first two years, and the violent storm which had welcomed festival-goers in 2022 and forced to cancel two show days. “This time it’s the right one,” promised the organizers. The rap scene will not be left out with Kaaris, Bigflo & Oli, Gazo, or the Belgian artist Shay, the subject of “huge anticipation”, according to programmer Kem Lalot.
After these first announcements, we will now have to wait until February to discover the entire program, with a few other big names promised by the organizers. Tickets will be on sale from Friday at 1 p.m.
