The 32nd edition of the festival will occur between September 25th and October 18th. One will be able to explore the diverse roussillonese heritage through picnic on Sundays and decentralized concerts. Then, we will meet for a very dense week in Perpignan.
Of course, we adapted the festival to the restrictions implied by the sanitary crisis, but we do hope to be able to set up all the concerts as planed.
The Festival starts in Eus, a tiny gorgeous village nearby Prades, with the french-danish-german trio Das Kapital, as inventive as usual. Then, it will move on to Laroque des Albères, Alenya, Port-Vendres and Planèzes for a musical world trip, significant of the Festival.
