Known for being the most famous festival in France, and surely one of the most influential in the whole Europe, Les Eurockéennes de Belfort have been confirming its reputation every time more for the past 18 years. With a diverse selection of bands and four scenes where already played the most famous artists, the French festival managed to mobilize up to 95 000 people, and is decided to keep going further.

The normally quiet peninsula of Malsaucy, close to Belfort, is turned each year by the beginning of July into THE place where every music fan has to be. This major festival, which started as a little local pop party, now touches a lot of diverse music styles and subcultures such as rock, heavy metal, hip hop, electro, reggae, Latin music, world music and of course… pop. Veterans and beginners coming from all parts of the world gather to represent every genre. As an example we can name, amongst the past participants, artists and bands like The Chemical Brothers, Cake, IAM, Cali, Garbage, Queens of the Stone Age, Bloc Party, Tom Zé, Franz Ferdinand, Sonic Youth, Rage Against The Machine, The Cure, Pixies, Slipknot, Ben Harper, PJ Harvey, David Bowie, Morrissey, Radiohead or Kraftwerk.

The region of Franche-Comté, within the support of Regional Council, will welcome bands and orchestras for this Unpopclassik project to built up this next edition of Les Eurockéennes de Belfort festival.

Such an occasion is not to be lost. Les Eurockéennes de Belfort offers a unique opportunity to have fun and open oneself to the new musical trends. Those who came before keep that souvenir of sweet musical craziness, just like a dream though it’s not, it’s a full immersion in the best of world music.
