REPORTAGE
Metal for children. This is the idea of the surprising initiative launched at La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, in Loire-Atlantique, not far from Clisson where is held every summer the huge metal festival, the Hellfest.

The "Metal for Kids" concert took place on Saturday afternoon. The event was obviously suitable for children, who could benefit from earplugs, helmets and a reduced sound volume. Europe 1 was able to attend.
"Scream my friend!"
The goal is to introduce these children to the metal in a fun way. For example, the show hour is interrupted by interventions where the animators explain the codes of a metal concert. "Have you ever screamed?" Asks one of them. "Scream my friend!"
Unlike an adult metal concert, at "Metal for Kids", kids can get on stage. A remarkable experience that also allows them to gain confidence in themselves. "I felt like I was a teenager, I really liked it, especially at the end, and I think I did," says eight-year-old Arthur.
As for Leonie and Sacha, an hour earlier, they did not know the metal. "It was so good, I jumped on the stage and it was funny," says Léonie.
