The 25th edition of Festi’neuch took place without any major safety or health problems. The 60,000 festival-goers were happy to find icons and artists on the rise in the Jeunes-Rives of Neuchâtel.
Antonin Rousseau, director of the festival, inevitably made reference to last year’s evacuation due to a weather alert. He rejoiced:
“We turned the page and the public saw that we had further increased our security. Our security is at the service of the party. It allows the emotion to increase, but nothing to overflow”
Cela a été le cas, even during concerts with quite energetic artists on Friday evening and with a fairly young audience. Antonin Rousseau added:
“We have not had any people in the infirmary for alcoholismâ€
The public was able to enjoy concerts by rising artists as well as those of emblematic figures, such as Vanessa Paradis or Jean-Louis Aubert. The 26th edition of Festi’neuch will take place from June 10 to 13, 2027. (btr/ats)
