The event opens on February 29th with the multi-genre evening, a nice mix of the most popular songs of the moment.
At Nuit blanche on March 2nd, whose program for the 21st edition will be announced on February 8th, festival-goers will be able to dance to the best of electronic music thanks to Cloverdale, Ghetto Birds, Pøptrt and Truwayz.
The festival is also planning several themed evenings, including the Bug of the Year 2000 evening, which will take us on a journey through time between “Eurodance, oldies and hip-hop hits from the beginning of the millennium” on March 1st. a completely rural evening with TallandSkiinny on March 3rd, a “100% female” program where in particular DJ LYKX will perform on March 8th on the occasion of International Women's Rights Day etc.
DJ Lexis will have the wonderful task of closing the festival on March 10th, which will feature jazz, funk and soul sounds.
