Held since 2007 in Argelès-sur-Mer, then in Céret from 2021, the Les Déferlantes Sud de France festival is already moving to a place that once again wants to be accessible. However, in this process, the event alienated a significant part of the festival goers who had already taken their place, as well as one of its main topics, Indochina, for two reasons: First, c, the artists were not consulted or even consulted. Aware of this change And what particularly disturbs Nikola Sirkis’ group is that Les Déferlantes has moved to Perpignan, a city whose mayor is Louis Aliot of the National Rally. The person with whom Marne Le Pen has shared her life for ten years has aroused the ire of Indochina by proudly announcing the festival’s arrival in her home city.Yesterday morning we were faced with the fait accompli that the Festival Les Déferlantes, which we had planned for 8 July, moved to Perpignan instead of the place we had originally planned. Last night, the RN mayor of Perpignan tweeted that he was happy to host the Les Déferlantes Festival. We openly request the management of Les Déferlantes to carry this festival, otherwise we will cancel our visit.‘, reacted on social networks to those who celebrated the 40th anniversary of his career last year.
The festival reacted sharply on Instagram: “The festival team observes with sadness and surprise that the pragmatic choices made recently to relocate to increase public interest and ensure their safety have led to various controversies and violent reactions. We note the position of the Indochina group, which stipulated that they come to Les Déferlantes for political questions. We remind you that Les Déferlantes is an unpoliticized festival whose sole purpose is to celebrate and share around an eclectic, intergenerational and quality music programme. The management regrets that music and politics are linked in this way!“.
Festival-goers are still waiting for answers to their questions. “What about refunds? The conditions of the festival are no longer the same, we did not pay to be in the parking lot in Perpignan“, “Moving a festival from a magnificent castle in the heart of Vallespir to an ugly, tarry parking lot in the heart of the city; While the face does not need to be covered, it is not possible to bring at least 30,000 people and 20,000 cars in front of the exhibition center every evening.“Can we read through the comments of internet users?
