Le Havre

Based in Le Havre and the surrounding area, the KoolCast Brass Gang marching band brings together volunteers from a variety of backgrounds, professions and age groups. Tasked with opening the festival, the band will parade in a loop around the site, passing through key points to draw in as many spectators as possible and lead the crowd to the heart of the event. Starting from Hangar Zéro, the parade will end at Quai de Marseille, on the festival site itself, giving way to the official opening and speeches.

Enrico Gracias and his orchestra Los Fissa Papa, this is "La Fafara": the joyously infectious cumbia-rock-caliente street quartet that relaxes your cheek muscles, loosens up your legs, and sets crowds wild, turning any street corner into a supercharged dance floor! Come join the fan club of this great star singer, unfairly overlooked outside the many tax havens scattered across the globe (where he's nicknamed "El cantante del paraíso")!

Between House, Trance and techno, the Helios collective blends styles to match the energy of the moment.

A self-taught artist and winner of a Victoire de la Musique, Hervé has carved out a distinctive place within the French music scene in the space of just three albums, with pop-rock compositions fuelled by electronic pulses. Alongside his own tour and thanks to Chaillot, Hervé met the MazelFreten, an exceptionally dynamic choreographic collective moving between hip-hop and electro, and revealed to the world during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This collaboration has proved entirely relevant – even self-evident. For him, as for them, music is a primary mode of expression, a driver of movement, a matter of rhythm. Freeing the mind and stirring the body.
