Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails and Prophets of Rage are just few of the names that appeared on Les Eurockeennes Festival’s recent lineup reveal. The “Eurock” festival’s name combines words and its organizers combine talent from across the spectrum. Rick Ross, Macklemore and Alice In Chains will be joining the featured artists, along with many more.

The festival debuted in 1989 and grew to be one of the largest in France, collecting 130,000 attendees in 2017. Located on a nature reserve straddling Lac de Malsaucy (Lake Malsaucy), Les Eurockeennes began as an idea from a local government body hoping to bring flair to their little pocket of France.

The festival goes from the fifth to the eighth of July and will likely take in personal record numbers of guests as it has managed to every year since 1989. A free campsite is available to 15,000 guests who will set up tents and ride free shuttles to and from the festival grounds. Buy tickets here.

Les Eurockeennes
Conrad Brittenham: My name is Conrad. I am one year out of college and pursuing a career in writing and journalism. I studied literature at Bard College, in the Hudson Valley. My thesis focuses on the literal and figurative uses of disease in Herman Melville’s most famous works, including Moby-Dick, Benito Cereno, and Billy Budd. My literary research on the topic of disease carried over to more historical findings about how humans tend to deal with and think about the problem of virus and infectivity. I’ve worked at a newspaper and an ad agency, as well as for the past year at an after school program, called The Brooklyn Robot Foundry. All of these positions have influenced the way I approach my work, my writing, and the way I interact with others in a professional setting. I’ve lived in London and New York, and have always had a unique perspective on international cultural matters. I am an avid drawer and a guitarist, but I would like to eventually work for a major news publication as an investigative journalist.
