Festival Les Suds in Arles will hold its 28th edition from July 10 to 16. Eighty concerts or musical meetings are expected.

40,000 festival-goers are expected, especially in the ancient theater of 2,500 seats. The festival wants to continue to "open other possible worlds" through music from India to Iran via Mali or Venezuela."World music is above all a way of listening to and saying the world," says festival director Stéphane Krasniewski.
