Attracted by an enticing program, which brought together among others Travis Scott, Gorillaz, Depeche Mode, Vald or Nekfeu in battle with The Killers, they all climbed the Longchamp racecourse under a blazing sun. But for some of them, the euphoria of the weekend quickly fell back the following days.

Indigestion, stomach ache, vomiting … Some festival-goers expressed their astonishment on the social networks after having describes similar symptoms. According to them, they would have been intoxicated after consuming non-drinking water at the festival site. To quench their thirst in this summer heat and avoid spending a fortune on mineral water at the various bars (3 euros per bottle all the same), the festival-goers preferred to turn to the water points arranged at the toilet corners.
First day at @lollapaloozafr 19h30: the bars refuse to serve water and soft drinks despite full fridges (but apparently closed with prohibition to touch). Given the heat it makes, it's just wicked and dangerous

On the other water points, although the water is drinkable, because of the heat and the secondary distribution, in order to take no risk, it was clearly indicated that the water was unfit for consumption as all the other festivals do.
