Who are the headliners?
Among the headliners are The Abyssinians, a historic vocal trio formed in 1968 in Kingston, Big Youth, an equally historic MC in Jamaica with over 50 years of career, or Nég’Marrons, one of the French groups pioneering the blend between reggae, dancehall, and hip-hop. Also featured is Flavia Coelho, a Brazilian blending bossa nova and raggamuffin. “She will come in sound system version, with guests, in a Jamaican approach,” says Fred Lachaize. Flavia Coelho is family. She came when her career was starting and she’s always there when things aren’t going so well for us.”
“We want to go back to our roots, find a local anchor before seeing if we can come back stronger in 2027”
For the general public, there are also Bleu Soleil and Andrick Airways, authors of the hits “Soleil bleu” and “Dans ma cabane”, or the Senegalese Mariaa Siga, “our discovery of 2025”. We can also mention the Testerine Lia Moon, flutist of Wax Taylor, announced in an electro-dub formula.
Summer events
The idea is indeed to have Girondins featured. “We want to go back to our roots, find a local anchor before seeing if we can come back stronger in 2027.” While the socio-cultural center of Cissac-Médoc can only accommodate 1,500 people, the idea is to propose other events in the Médoc during the summer. “A SunSka tour in about ten municipalities, events by the sea or in castles. We explode the programming of a normal festival through a series of appointments.”
