Printemps de Bourges launches the festival season of the year 2022. It returns in its usual format, from April 19 to 24, for the first time in two years, with fifteen venues spread throughout the city, such as the W and the Halle au Blé, the biggest stages.
In 2019, the festival welcomed 200,000 people for its last real edition in 2019. Due to the health crisis, there was only a symbolic stage reserved for emerging talents in 2020 (postponed to September) and an edition in tonnage limited in June 2021.
Clara Luciani, Juliette Armanet or Eddy de Pretto were announced this Wednesday as the first headliners.
A wind of disco should therefore blow in Bourges since this current irrigates the last albums of Clara Luciani with
Coeur
, unveiled this summer and Juliette Armanet,
Brûler le feu
, released last Friday.
Eddy de Pretto, surrounded by a group with an unstoppable groove, has just thrilled the Bataclan in Paris with six concerts and a stunning scenic transposition of his record
À tous les Bastards
.
IAM, Kungs, Gaëtan Roussel also on the program
Among the other big names unveiled, we find Gaëtan Roussel (leader of Louise Attaque), Dutronc & Dutronc, either Jacques and Thomas for the first time on a joint tour, the Marseille rap veterans IAM, Vianney or even Lilly Wood & The Prick.
There will also be a creation that will honor the unclassifiable Brigitte Fontaine.
