We Love Green, Eurockéennes, Lollapalooza … Musical events are now playing on two paintings: feasting the stomachs as much as the ears. With a casting of starred chefs as well as stoves from street-food.
We Love Green’s 2022 programming is spread over two posters. One presents the musicians who, on June 2, 4 and 5, will confirm on the scenes posed in the Bois de Vincennes, in Paris, the excellence of a festival balancing stars and discoveries. The other announcement, with the same graphic charter, a culinary casting declined between Foodosphere star (Adrien Cachot, Guillaume Sanchez, Alessandra Mountain, Gloria Kabe, etc.) and sizes of street cuisine (Krispy Korean, Taco Mesa, Filakia…). “The goal was to bring culinary programming to the same quality level as musical programming,” insists Thomas Grunberg, coordinator and “artistic” director of these high -end snacks.
A concern that lives more and more pop festivals. From this first weekend in June and until the end of the summer, we no longer count the events putting the double bites to delight the ears as much as the stomachs. However, they have been little in line with the reputation of our gastronomy for a long time. A curse of the junk food combined one of the very first times in 2008, in Saint-Brieuc.
A handful of local cooks then offers the Art Rock festival, to graft a culinary event, Rock’n’toques, to its programming. “We wanted to participate in the festival to get out of our kitchens, meet a new audience, offer an alternative to the eternal merguez and soft bread,” recalls Nicolas Adam, star chef of the old tower, in Plérin ( Côtes-d’Armor), co-founder of the Rock’N’Toques project.
