People can see Coryas and Foucault. The two rappers will give their first live performance after the release of their album Emerging intellectuals. “It’s a specialty for Francois. It’s candy,” said programmer Gabriel Remillard.

Sarami will release new songs from her album on stage on September 3. The Jérôme 50 will also be on stage, as will the rapper Calamine. During the epidemic, especially in the finals of the Francovertes competition, the latter’s talent was revealed, so people were thirsty to see her on stage.

Clay Pellag is also part of the first wave of artists announced by Spectra on Tuesday.

Another highlight: Carte Blanche to share the stage with secret guests under the Blue Jeans Blue sign Party.

Pop attracts attention with Amay Leoni, but people can find Nikamu Mamiyuthunnu, an intercultural project that combines combinations of eight local and non-local artists, Mathieu, Karen Pinet-Fontaine, Scott Peon-Picard.

Typically, spectra programmers work on a show schedule almost a year in advance. If they decide on 32 dates^E The show a few weeks earlier this year, it’s not a puzzle. “It was a challenge, but the artists wanted to play in a way that had no resistance,” Gabriel Remillard explained.

Performing not thirty but hundreds. “It’s a small expansion version, but in terms of diversity and equality and big and small names it’s important to be confident in what we usually offer.

Sanitary measures to plan

The full program and schedule will be unveiled on August 24. It is possible to watch shows online, but only live. Also on August 24, the Francos team will announce the sanitary guidelines to be followed.
