Fans of FC Sochaux-Montbéliard will inevitably recognize the voices of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers. The tubes of the English of Wet Leg accompany the majority of the matches of the Sochaliens in Bonal. “Hello Belford. It’s cool to be here”, they whisper before releasing their pop-rock songs in front of a compact audience, at the Green Room.
“For the next song, I need help”, launches the leader of Wet Leg with her British accent. The group performs one of its flagship titles: Angelica.
The concert ends in apotheosis with their hit Chaise longue the public takes up the words in chorus.

18h50.- A proper festival
No question of finding the Malsaucy site (too much) in bulk. The waste sorting awareness teams are already criss-crossing the aisles of the festival. Smokers receive mini-ashtrays to put their cigarette butts in.
At the campsite too, we distribute garbage bags.

A few minutes earlier, we were able to witness a small pruning in front of the stage: two branches were cut, one sick (therefore dangerous above the PMR access) and the other which interfered with the light effects of this evening .

Deck d’Arcy and Christian Mazzalai, from the group Phoenix (8:30 p.m., Main Stage): “This is our fifth time at the Eurocks (following 2007, 2009, 2013 and 2017). We know that here it’s always an emulation of music, we played with great artists like The Hives. The atmosphere ? We prefer not to make too many predictions, because we are often very surprised by the public. In any case, if we have time, we plan to see Wet Leg (7:30 p.m., Greenroom), and we encourage spectators to take a look at Sigur Ros (9:45 p.m.)! »
17 h 30.- Place in Adé, while waiting (already!) Niska
