VIDEO – This is the big return of the “Night of the Stars” festival in Tréflez, Brittany. In addition to great guests, a real discovery: Nicolas Veroncastel.


If his cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" was a hit on YouTube, it was because Nicolas Veroncastel had the sensitivity necessary to tackle such a piece.

You had to dare, but the singer knew what he wanted and his very slow and very personal version, without distorting anything from the original, is a success.

This success opened the doors to him for the fifth edition of the Festival of contemporary music "La Nuit des étoiles" in Tréflez in Brittany, which was to take place in 2020. He is in excellent company there: Ofenbach (with an "f" to avoid not to confuse him with the composer of operetta), Celkilt, Gims or Michael Jones...

It is therefore on a stage built for the occasion facing the sea that the public will discover the delicate and extraordinary atmospheres of Nicolas Veroncastel, who began his solo career in January, accompanied in concert by two very good musicians, Thomas Frogner on guitars and Harold Untersee on drums.

If his pop, a morning of electronics and sophisticated arrangements, remains for the moment very English-speaking, the author told us that his next album planned for 2023 will contain several texts in French.

In Tréflez, the singer should not feel in unknown territory: his previous group, Lys, of which he was the leader, toured a lot in Brittany.

And besides, to remind us that we are on Celtic land, a huge Breton flag – of course – of 1395 m2 will be stretched between two cranes to invite the spectators.

The Night of the Stars is held on Friday August 19 and Saturday August 20 in Tréflez.
