 Fanshake can exclusively reveal that fresh from two sell-out concerts at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Prince is coming to play in Paris. The Purple One will be playing at Olympia on the 24th, 25th and 26th of  July. Let’s hope that it’s not just a rumor.

 Première sur l’île de Ré. Le festival «Porte Un Galet» qui se tiendra du 10 au 13 août aux Portes-en–Ré, entend réunir toutes les générations. Par sa programmation éclectique, cette première édition veut mélanger les estivants et les habitants de l’île sur les notes de Michel Delpech, Berry, Yodelice et Donin (spectacle pour les enfants). 5000 personnes sont attendues sous le chapiteau de “Porte un galet” situé sur l’une des plus belles communes de l’île. Un événement fédérateur : Le caractère convivial de ce lieu de vacances mélangé à l’accueil des Portingalais donneront le coté festif et l’esprit de partage tant attendu. Dans son souci de réunir les générations, “Porte un galet” propose également des apéros “sortie de plage” en musique- qui permettront aux talents locaux de se produire en première partie des concerts.

 Le matin, de 9h à 11h, “Porte un galet” propose également des ateliers musiques pour les enfants, pour le plus grand bonheur des parents, qui pourront profiter de ce moment pour flâner, au marché par exemple… Ce projet est soutenu par la Mairie des Portes en Ré, la Communauté des Communes, les commerçants des Portes et les habitants et les habitués du lieu. Nous avons la volonté de faire du festival  ”porte un galet” un réel moment d’échange entre les différentes populations qui fréquentent l’île pendant cette période.

• Une programmation musicale d’artistes français qui a pour but de séduire un public de tout âge.

• En journée, le lieu sera dédié aux rencontres autour de stands culinaires, artistiques et commerciaux des artisans locaux. Les estivants ainsi que les Rhétais pourront se retrouver autour d’un verre dans une ambiance conviviale.

• Une journée sera consacrée aux plus petits avec un spectacle de Donin, la “star” locale. Ils pourront également s’amuser grâce aux animations (ateliers musique et jeux) destinées à leur faire passer une matinée ludique, pédagogique et distrayante.

• En fin de journée, les apéros  ”sortie de plage” sont proposés pour découvrir les premières parties, autour du chapiteau - ambiance
