Speaking regarding artistic performances, Gilles Pierre mentioned the “remarkable” concert by M (Matthieu Chedid) on Thursday. He once more cited that of Florent Pagny, who played for an hour and 45 minutes on Friday, in a temperature of 40 degrees, a temperature exacerbated by the lighting.

Too much people
On Saturday, the festival welcomed as a neighbor Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine, native of Dole, in the Jura department. Children and adolescents also came in large numbers this year, attracted by the rap programming, indicated Gilles Pierre on the website of Daily Jura. They benefited from free entry up to 16 years old.
An influx which raises questions regarding managing the number of festival-goers. “We cannot admit more people. It’s even a little uncomfortable,” admitted Gilles Pierre. The festival director is considering introducing tickets at a symbolic price of 3 or 5 francs next year.
As many volunteers as residents of the town
Beyond that, the organizers intend to correct the situation regarding reusable tableware. This was not recorded, which caused a lot of losses. “It’s a half-win bet for a first. An assessment will be carried out,” assured Gilles Pierre.
Another record was broken once more during the 31st edition: with more than 1,850 people involved, the festival has never had so many volunteers. This is, neither more nor less, as much as the population residing in Noirmont.
Last year, on the occasion of its 30th edition, the festival welcomed more than 50,000 spectators, but this time over four days. In 2024, the Chant du Gros will unfold its splendors from September 5 to 7.
