Fourteen new names join The Cure in France on June 30 – July 1 this year for a banging mix of rock, punk, electro and rap sounds at Eurockéennes.

After re-inventing the word Rocknroll with The White Stripes at the beginning of the 2000s’, Jack White is now playing a solo project. The phenomenon of the year and pop-princess Lana Del Rey is preparing an amazing show for her first festival, an event that she used to enjoy as a spectator when she was a teenage girl; watching rock bands such as Nirvana or the heavy hip hop rappers Cypress Hill, back in the line-up of Eurockéennes this year.

Great American artists will play at Eurockéennes this summer, the intelligent metal of Mastadon, smoke-filled rap of Wiz Khalifa and the Celtic punk of Dropkick Murphys. There are also two frenchies who bring the house down all over the world, they are called Justice, and they are the most popular electronic music duo “French Touch 2.0”.

From Charlie Winston’s bohemian folk to the purely pop music of The Kooks, without forgetting the legend of The Cure, the United Kingdom will be well-represented during the festival. We will also welcome the come¬back of the hardcore punks from Sweden: Refused (after more than a decade off the stage!)

Eurokeennes takes place in the Malsaucy peninsula – Belfort – in France. Three-Day tickets including camping are already available on See Tickets for just 99 euros + booking fee. More info at www.eurockeennes.fr/index.php/englishpage
