“We are fine. Friday, July 1, 2022, it’s beautiful above the Parc de Beautiful eyesto the great satisfaction of the festival programmer Paul Langeois.
Since June 13, in the superb site ofHerouville Saint Clair at the gates of Caen (Calvados), technicians are busy developing the 15 hectares (the equivalent of 21 football pitches) which are used for the biggest musical event in Normandy.
Compared to previous editions, “we were able to start a week in advance. This allows you to work with a little more comfort, to be more serene. »
“A race against time”
After two years of scarcity due to the Covid, the festival team has not lost its touch. “We started with the partner area (the VIP corner) which has been extended by 800 m”, relates Paul Langeois. “At the beginning, we were about thirty. There are about 250 people working there. »
Despite two editions without, we have not lost our marks. We don’t need to explain in detail how to do it. Loyal teams know how to do it.
The goal is to be ready for “Wednesday, July 6 at 4 p.m., before the opening and the Muse concert. Until the end, there are last minute things to do, finishing touches. It’s always a race against time. »
The biggest day of assembly is scheduled for Monday July 4, knowing that the safety commission is on Wednesday July 6.
A new scene
But already, the Ferris wheel is in working order. The control rooms are ready, while the two large stages have for the moment the air of a giant mikado. While all the catering tents are now provided by the festival, “to be uniform”, only the Beauregard stage (that of the castle) is changing this year. She has just arrived from the Solidays festival (June 24-26 in Paris).
A few days before the expected return of Beauregard, “in the home stretch”, Paul Langeois is already planning his festival which has a good chance of being sunny. “We are delighted with the rare weather, it looks very, very good”, smiles Paul Langeois.
