Originally, the most popular group in Quebec was scheduled to hit the stage at 9:30pm, like all other headliners on the Plains of Abraham.
“With a big system expected around 9:30pm and all the beautiful people in town, we’ve been working with the teams to rearrange the schedule,” FEQ communications director Samantha McKinley said around 5:00 p.m. 12:00 a.m.
Therefore, Robert Charlebois began his singing tour at 6:30 p.m. for a limited time of 45 minutes.
Unfortunately Sara Dufour’s performance was cancelled. “It will be returned to him a hundredfold,” promised Ms. McKInley.
The wind was blowing hard when Charlebois, dressed head to toe in white, arrived at the scene, but it would have taken more to destabilize him. ” Good evening my friends. Life doesn’t always go as you think. “It comes our way, so I was asked to start earlier,” he said, before kicking off his performance with a song we didn’t want to anticipate : “The lack of self-confidence.”
“We’re going to miss our shot. “The shit will hit the fan,” sang Robert Charlebois, his curly hair blowing in the wind.
“We won’t miss our chance,” the Quebec icon, wild and in top form, was quick to correct before beginning to announce his accomplishments.
Of course, Angel’s Wings came quickly. “If you don’t know her: you were born in a suburb of … Moscow. »
No problem, all the festival-goers who had arrived at the site shouted “Quebec” as much as the old lion song called for.
Due to the weather, the tracks planned for the program were shelved, but we still heard Ent’ 2 Joints and California, a pretext for a pleasant surprise performance by Louise Forestier.
