The Main Square Festival announces the first names for its 2024 edition, during which it celebrates its 20th anniversary.

Not every day you’re 20 years old. Thus, the Main Square Festival intends to mark the occasion with a poster mixing prestigious artists and future glories. See you from July 4 to 7 at the Citadel of Arras. Places are available.

Thus, among the big headliners, rock is in the spotlight with the presence of Placebo July 4th and Lenny Kravitz on the 7th. On Friday the 5th, the group Bring me The Horizon, whose musical spectrum extends from metalcore to alternative rock, will hold the top spot. Saturday 6th, British pop artist Sam Smith will lead the dance.

The rest of the poster has nothing to be ashamed of. Thus, fans of high-energy electronic music will be able to enjoy the sets of Justice, Deluxe or Pierre de Maere. Pop-rock fans can take out their baggies to attend the concert ofAvril Lavigne or enjoy the compositions of ex-One Direction Louis Tomlinson. Those who appreciate more edgy music will be able to have fun watching the sets of Landmvrks Or Nothing But Thieves. Finally, hip hop fans are not forgotten, as evidenced by the presence of Ninho, Zola, Alonzo, Luther, Josman or Bianca Costa.

“The Main Square Festival in Arras proudly celebrates two decades of concerts, emotions and unforgettable experiences” say the organizers. “Since its beginnings in 2004 on the Grand’Place, the Hand Square Festival has established itself as an unmissable event for music lovers, its three stages attracting festival-goers from all corners of France and beyond. »

Other names will be revealed soon. In the meantime, go back in time by remembering the 2022 edition with the editorial report.
