The 30th edition of Eurockéennes de Belfort opens its doors this Thursday. The festival, still one of the most recognized in France, has evolved between openness to new styles and resistance to the armada of competitors supported by large groups.
When it comes to balancing a program, we can always count on Eurockéennes; between the wild rock of the Queens of the Stone Age and the rap of Damso, the festival deserves more than ever its title of generalist. For 30 years, the "Eurocks" have changed little, walking on these two strong feet. " Few festivals can boast of having made JAY-Z, Kanye West, Missy Elliott and so on, jubilant director Jean-Paul Roland We have always been attentive. "
After Booba last year, which brought a huge crowd, Orelsan this time brings the pack consisting of Lomepal, Hamza, Bigflo & Oli, Moha La Squale, not to mention a great name of American rap, Rick Ross. To celebrate the 30 years, the organizers did not want to break the piggy bank.

They preferred to celebrate the values of Eurocks, between diversity of arts – dance or street art this year – and current music, always striking on the banks of the Malsaucy. Especially since competition and concentration in the sector encourage caution. " We are condemned to the affluence ", warns Jean-Paul Roland.
The only power that we have is the history, and it's not bad because it is this missing major groups Jean-Paul Roland, director of Eurockéennes
The Eurockéennes, chaired for three years by Mathieu Pigbade, hopefully celebrate the 30 years on record attendance, about 130 000 festival-goers, only guarantee for a future at the height of the past. But to keep the balance, it will also overcome a lot of bad news: the organizers denounce a staggering increase in the festival's security costs, billed by the Ministry of the Interior. They would go from 30,000 to more than 250,000 euros. A " jeopardized " the very future of the festival they say, while this thirtieth edition strives, indeed, to look to the future.
