Living away from Paris or any big cities, we are not used to the concerts schedule being set accordingly to that of the subways. Everybody leaves the site at the same time, and it affects the general atmosphere. You will find at this young but famous festival ‘hype’ and indie music with the best rock bands- for teenagers. The Horrors and Simple Plan? This should not surprise you, it should attract you! Somewhat. Note that English people occupy about 60% of the campsite- they’re nice though- and that the organizing teams are a funky bunch of people. What is great when you volunteer is that you get your own campsite, shower and toilets. Plus the catering service is really good!
