One of France’s most exciting music festivals will take place this Friday, August 24th to Sunday, August 26th on the elegant and historic grounds of the domain de Saint Cloud, just on the edge of Paris. The 16th edition of the Rock en Seine is rich in talent and stylistic diversity, to a point that determining which sets to attend will often force attendees to get from point A to point B in a big hurry or make difficult choices between overlapping set times. Will it be First Aid Kit or Dirty Projectors? Cigarettes After Sex or Anna Calvi? King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard or Welshly Arms? Fat White Family or Liam Gallagher? It’s a form of agony, but frankly, it’s a magnifique problème to have.
In addition to live tweeting throughout the festival and hunting down a few intriguing talents “made in France”, the focus for this writer at the 2018 edition will be on “Women who Rock en Seine”, shining a spotlight on female performers, frontwomen and band members because, well, #wetoo rock! So see you soon Charlotte Gainsbourg, Wolf Alice, Noname, The Regrettes, MOURN, and more…
Stay tuned for news and photos. In the meantime, vive le lineup and vive le festival!
