Mad for it crowd
Because everyone has been locked up so long and had no fun, you expect people from all over France and beyond to really go wild at what will be one of the first festivals in Europe this year.
Safety measures
Because of coronavirus the will be a weird year for all. There will be hand sanitising stations, virus checks, temperature tests, and people will be advised to wear masks. But all that is better than it not happening at all.
Reduced capacity
Cause of Corona, fewer people will attend this year, making it an even more intimate festival but with all the major production you would expect of a huge event. Do not miss.
